Georgia passes drug testing for welfare bill...

[bu villain]

Truth be told the majority of jobs in this world require you to take a drug test in order to get hired so why should the people that are trying to get welfare not be tested either.

Because a large portion of those on welfare already have a job so drugs are not preventing them from getting a job. The actual number of people who can't get a job because they fail a drug test is a very small percentage (feel free to present evidence to the contrary).

If anything this bill may slightly decrease unemployment in the state of Georgia because the future people that are on welfare that passed this drug test may now be hired to work whatever job they applied for simply because if they can pass the welfare drug test, they may just pass the drug test upon receiving a job.

While the idea makes perfect sense, I think you are overestimating how many people this will really help get a job. In my opinion, the large cost does not justify such a small effect.
