The aid recipients would be responsible for the cost of the screening, which they would recoup in their assistance if they qualify.

So, what happens if you are 'clean' and cannot afford the ~$100 test?
:iagree: :iagree:

Look we all understand "life happens" and we may find ourselves in a place we never expected or anticipated we may be... But, the programs should be used (if needed) as a stop gap and a place where you can get your feet under you and move on (if able-bodied) with being a PRODUCTIVE member of society. It's not that I have any heart ache with people using the programs it's the ones who get on, stay on and use it as an entitlement and a career that should be re-evaluated and given an opportunity to get a skill and an end date of their free ride.

True but that will never be. Those programs are now viewed by many to be a Constitutional Right. The Constitution is read many different ways by different people.

Asa side note, many years ago my son wore a tank top to school Tank tops were not allowed in school. When he was called into the Vice Principal's office he told
the principal that he had the right by the Constitution to "bare arms". :shock: This is true I am not making this up.

Easy, they can practice for it by smoking some weed just prior to the test. :cheers2:

Seriously, welfare, food stamps or any other "free" money has been abused in this country to the point that many think
it is now an entitlement that is written in the Constitution and therefore a "right".

I say that anyone getting any sort of govt. "giveaway" should be tested prior to and randomly after receiving their first
$$$.
