Should Drug Testing Be Mandatory for Those Who Are on Welfare?
Question by jdukenumber1: Should drug testing be mandatory for those who are on welfare?
i just read in states such as florida, oklahoma, louisiana and alabama that drug testing is mandatory for those on welfare. and i really don’t see the logic behind it. i find it degrading and quite ridiculous that because someone is of low income, the assumption is that it’s a high possibility they’re on drugs. and please don’t use the “my tax dollars are going to them so i should be sure that they’re using the money wisely” only one percent of federal taxes go to those in welfare so come up with another excuse. regardless if you use drugs or not, it’s an invasion of personal space. and let’s be real, the states mentioned have a high percentage of black people. you wouldn’t hear much of this law in a states such as colorado, idaho, or maine for example.
and let’s say someone is using drugs, that doesn’t mean they don’t need the assistance just as much as the next person. taking it away only makes the situation worse. what if this person has kids, we should let them suffer as well?

Now, a similar case over the weekend in Lafayette Parish. “During the attack, the suspect bit a chunk of the victim’s face off,” said Scott Assistant Police Chief, Kert Thomas. Police say 43-year-old Carl Jacquneaux knew the victim, Todd Credeur, and was upset over a domestic issue. Credeur declined an on-camera interview, but told KATC he was working in his front yard when Jacquneaux showed up at his house and attacked him. Credeur said he was shocked when Jacquneaux bit him on the face. That’s when Credeur said he sprayed wasp spray in Jacquneaux’s face to try and stop the attack. Police said he then left Credeur’s house and showed up at another acquaintance’s house in Carencro where he held him at knife point and stole a hand gun. It was there that deputies caught up with Jacquneaux and arrested him. “Very unusual, it’s not something we see everyday,” said Thomas. That unusual behavior could be due to drugs. Sheriff’s deputies said Jacquneaux was clearly under the influence of some kind of drug. A friend of the victim said she believes he …
