Shouldn't there be some kind of tests for corporate subsidies? Hint hint, wallstreet bank bailouts, big oil, obamas failed "green" companies, and so on.
Inform yourself.
All you need to do is read.

President Bush signed into law Friday a historic $700 billion bailout of the financial services industry, promising to move swiftly to use his sweeping new authority to unlock frozen credit markets to get the economy moving again.
It’s often claimed that the Solyndra loan guarantee was “rushed through” by the Obama Administration for political reasons. In fact, the Solyndra loan guarantee was a multi-year process that the Bush Administration launched in 2007.
You’d never know from the media coverage that:
The Bush team tried to conditionally approve the Solyndra loan just before President Obama took office.
It seems to me that those of you opposing drug testing welfare recipients don't want take any measures to ensure that they're using the money they're receiving responsibly.
I don't. That would require way more than drug testing and while I'm sure everyone would love to have a flock of welfare receipients under their direct and personal rule so they could be taught "responsibility" from their betters, including what food to buy, when, how etc. that's not the way society works. We have one choice...there are people who need help and we either give it to them in some way by using a forumla of our making, or we don't. What we can't do is give something with strings that require others to follow them around and poke into every aspect of their lives under the guise of making them responsible becaues it's not THEM being made responsible...it's those pulling the strings.
There is no "win" at the end of a society that routinely drug tests all of it's citizens. And everyone would need to be, EVERYONE, for it to make even the littlest bit of sense. There would need to be a greater reason than what's proposed here. I've never seen that greater reason and don't expect to. I expect it to only and always be used as a way of treating people as less than human.
Who can give me a figure on what it would cost to drug test public employees and public assistance recipients?
Asking the CD PnC mob for something resembling actual analysis? Ha. Good luck
