I understand that Florida has passed a law requiring welfare recipients to be tested for drugs before they can receive welfare. I understand applicants
must pay for the drug test, but are reimbursed if they test drug-free. If they do test positive, they cannot receive assistance for 1year or until they undergo treatment. If they test positive for a second time, assistance is denied for three years.
I've been thinking, some will cry foul and that this is unconstitutional. How can it be unconstitutional? For most jobs, when you make application, you must have a drug test. If working people must have the test, why should recipients of welfare not have the same: What are they afraid of?
What do you think? Do you agree with Florida? Do you think other states should do the same?
Would you please leave a comment below whether you agree or disagree?
