THIS State Just Declared Drug Testing Requirement For Welfare According to recent reports, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker just announced that the state is pushing to keep drug users from receiving free benefits like health care and food stamps. Walkers proposal for the state budget would require mandatory drug testing for people who apply for public assistance programs. The aim is to limit the many people who are abusing the system. Of course, liberals in Wisconsin are opposing the plan. This proposal is more about making headlines than finding real solutions, claimed Democratic representative Jennifer Shilling. Odd that Shilling doesnt consider the proposal a real solution, especially given that a dozen states have already passed similar measures. After all the money paid out is coming from taxpayer/workers who likely took a drug test to first earn the money from which the government later doles out, one Wisconsin resident wrote. Why should the earners be held to stricter standards than the receivers? Although the exact costs and benefits of the proposal remain to be seen, some feel that the proposal is simply a common sense step in the right direction. What do you think? Do you support Wisconsin passing the law?
