Bentway, > You know this how? Because it's "common knowledge" among conservative right wingnuts?

You could have responded with a more sensible post, like "There weren't that many drug users on welfare in the first place" or "The article also stated that the welfare caseload did not go down significantly as a result of the drug tests."

Instead, you respond with your predictable partisanship. Because to you, silencing conservatives is more important than common sense, namely that government assistance funds should not go to drug users.

Meanwhile, the ACLU continues to press against these drug tests, claiming a violation of the 4th amendment. That of course is founded on the assumption that these welfare recipients have a right to government assistance and therefore should not be subject to "unreasonable search and seizure."

Which just goes to show you the entitlement mentality that permeates the left these days.

If you'd used drugs recently enough to show up on a test (and we both know you know how long that is), would you take a drug test if you could avoid it?
