Everything the government controls is expensive, ineffective and poorly ran, yet they want to control and run everything. If i go spend my money to have my car painted, i can select the shop that i feel will do the best job for the right price. With the government, we're forced to pay top dollar for the shittiest service in town and we have no choice in the matter. If the welfare program doesnt have the staff or resources to assist people with finding jobs, train them for said jobs and regulate reasonable restrictions for welfare applicants, then there shouldnt be a welfare system. We need less government programs across the board. Certain things need to be ran by people who are more invested in the results.........

We're sitting here having a conversation about whether or not it's constitutional to drug test someone who is having the government pay for their living.... how about asking if it's constitutional for me to be forced to buy into these flawed and failing government programs?
Believe it or not... When it comes to welfare and Gov't assistance programs, I feel the same way you, vteckidd, etc feel.
TOO many people abuse it. I personally know many that make $1500+ biweekly yet live in projects, receive $800 is foodstamps for their kids, SSI checks, etc...
These programs have been abused generation after generation.
Did you guys ever hear about the Puerto Rican family in FL that got caught with 3 generations living off welfare, and they had a family business. A car shop to be more specific.
This is what happens.
BTW, every single person I know on welfare has a smartphone, a nice car, nice TV's, and more vacations than I do lol.

I guess all these people also plan on living off welfare forever. I see no motive to get up and look for a job (for the unemployed ones, or ones with shitty jobs), no motive to go to school or better themselves. They simply believe they will be able to live off welfare, and so will their kids, and kid's kids, and so on. It's sad really.

I believe the solution is to make it 6 months for example. In those months you better prepare yourself, find a job, go to school, or find you a sugar daddy lol.
