Drug Testing Recipients of Government Assistance
Blog 11

Hello I’m going to confront you with a problem today. Then we are going to discuss the cause then we will discuss a possible solution. The problem is drug abusers’ living off of government assistance; the cause is that there is no way of keeping them from doing it, the possible solution is drug testing recipients of government assistance.
My main concern with this issue is the line of people waiting to get help who really need it, and cant because someone else is abusing the system. If we were to implement a drug screening for these recipients we could potentially solve two problems at ounce reduce drug abuse and get help to the people who really need it. I imagine every one here knows someone on assistance who really doesn’t need it and I also imagine you know someone who needs assistance and can’t get it. Well that just can’t continue in a country were the majority of people working get drug tested there is no reason that people living off of the working communities taxes should not get the same treatment. If you have a job that requires a drug screening and you fail your test in most cases you loose your job. In some cases they will require you to get help and if you can’t solve the problem then you get terminated. Well I am merely suggesting the same treatment for recipients of government assistance.
So in conclusion let’s take into consideration the needy people waiting in line for help the think about the people who are already getting it and abusing it something needs to be done. I personally think this would be a good solution if you agree I am going to give you the address to the governor and I hope you will take a little time to write him a letter to voice your opinion on this problem.

Don’t be afraid to contact your voted officials remember they work for us, and they should have to answer to us not the other way around. Come to think of it maybe we should implement a drug testing policy for them after all they are no better than us so they should be treated equally. I imagine that it would be a hard job to get accomplished the politicians probably do more drugs than anyone else I mean after all they can afford it, and they probably use all the drugs that the D.N.A. and F.B.I. confiscate from the drug lords. This is one messed up world we live in any thing is possible.
