Every time the subject comes up someone's always whining about how it infringes upon the rights of welfare recipients.
Me? I'm all for it. If you're on welfare because you've fallen on hard times and are working in earnest to turn your life around by getting a job, stay clean/sober, going to school or in any other way be a more self sufficient person then I bear you no ill will but what about my right not to have to fund the lives of deadbeats, junkies and other assorted losers who are just gaming the system? If you don't want to be drug tested then don't have your handout. Pretty simple.

What about the mentally/physically disabled who receive welfare assistance, should they be drug tested?
everybody receiving public assistance should be drug tested.
every federal employee state and city and county employee should be drug tested. you will resolve your pension issue in a jiffy when u do.
and yes people who are disabled should be tested, many are disabled bek of drugs.
Absolutley! Doesn't matter age, health or anything. Testing for all. The majority of people that actually work for a living have to be drug test, so why can't people that are getting hand outs.

However, I do wonder about those who are not given help that have innocent children who will suffer as a result. I also don't want more people feeling inclined to rob me because they cannot eat.
Yes they should. There's a big difference between someone working for a living or being disabled than someone who has their hand out expecting the government to support them.

Although I generally take a limited government/libertarian approach to many things it's a no brainer that "innocent children whose parents are junkies or otherwsie exhbit harmful behavior should have their children taken away.
As longs as the officers of companies receiving corporate welfare are drug tested as well... I'm all for it. GE-- zero tax bill? Here's your cup. Aim well!
