    I've always heard cocaine and meth leave your system pretty quick. This will only affect pot heads. The sale of clean urine will become an underground business.

              Such as? So you dont mind that ur taxes will be helping to pay to cover these extra costs of such a draconian law?? Think about how much it costs to have someone on welfare verses the cost of keeping someone in jail?? I believe its somewhere in the vicinity of 1000% more to keep them in jail than receive welfare...Id be ANGRY if i knew thats where a % of my taxes were going. Thats money that couldve gone to improving schools, healthcare etc something to help prop up the ecomony, not take from it...

                Rather have that vs being a victim of their crime.

                  Oh, there are better schools, but dems kill voucher programs so the inner city kids, the same ones they profess to care so much about, can keep getting shit 'educations', stay poor as fukk, stay on welfare and get used every election day...

                  You should start by getting the government the fukk out of education. DOE should be gone. Instead of teaching kids condom use and gender is a choice, how about worrying about reading, writing and arithme-fukkin-tic?!?!?

                  Good luck getting better schools with the teacher's union. No pay linked to merit. Test scores suck, graduation rates under 60% and these muttafukkers get raises.

                  Just another huge government scam ran on us taxpayers. School taxes high as fukk, union dues high as fukk for teachers, fukk ton of campaign donations (guess which party those go to) and favorable legislation that keeps standards low and competition out.

                    No one said put the people that turn up positive on the drug tests in jail...
                    I was thinking much more on the line of let them fukking starve.

                          You can only be on welfare for 3 years. After that; you have to find a job or starve. This law was enacted by clinton!

                                  Isn't that sad that you think so little of poor people that the only option is either welfare or crime? Don't you think maybe some just need a kick in the ass to go find a job? Take away the free ride and some of them will choose swim vs. sink and actually get their shit together. Too many are reliant on the govt. teet when they are perfectly capable of getting a job. Look how many immigrants come here with virtually nothing, and one generation later are hard working, home-owning, contributors to society.

                                    seems like a great simple solution, but its nowhere close.

                                    im slightly in favor of this

                                        I smoked weed my whole time on parole. A lot of water does the trick. Just a waste of money because there are ways to beat the test.

                                          it will not be 100% effective

                                          but at least it will educate the unintelligent about drugs and the ramifications of addiction

                                              there children and younger people around them will learn about drugs

                                              doing for them what they cannot do for themselves

                                              why you laugh at that? whats so g.damn funny?

                                              it will keep the boarder liners straight, educate some children, and cut off the drug addicts from government funds

                                              are you stupid or something?

                                                  I'm not saying its a bad idea, under. I'm just saying that educating the drug addicts will do little if nothing to stop the drug use. But that's not the issue here. Nobady gives a fukk about these people and their dope habit. People just don't like other people getting a free ride. If this is a way to cut people off, then everybody loves it. You could give a fukk if they all OD tomorrow.

But that's not the issue here. Nobady gives a fukk about these people and their dope habit. People just don't like other people getting a free ride. If this is a way to cut people off, then everybody loves it. You could give a fukk if they all OD tomorrow.

                                                          Got cut off from what? I know enough to know that relapse is a part of recovery. Cut off an addict from public assistance for a failed test? What about her kids that will starve because of this. I would love to hear your story. Might could change my thinking. I have an open mind.

                                                            tie in the fact that welfare recipients have no money and have to pay for these tests themselves guess who gets to pay for the tests

                                                            just another way for the rich to steal from the tax payer
                                                            thats what drones dont understand...about how white collar crime works

                                                            do you think political figures who hold goverment jobs would be AGAINST drug testing for their job?

                                                                then when they fail the test. the gov't will find another way to take care of them

                                                                  imo a drug addict will not stop until they are completely out of options

                                                                  maybe making them getting their check difficult and even denied will help them. in addiction you don't have the ability to help themselves

                                                                  if people starve and die then its not the fault of the testing program........

                                                                  i have a hard opinion, i suffered, my family suffered, in the end i wasn't owed anything. i wasn't deserving of a glass of water. fuk the people that think the government is a place to get help. the society as we we built was that of a free society to make your own decisions.

                                                                  it wasn't until the later years that we added programs to help the poverty

                                                                  they are broke because they make the wrong decisions, the government propping them up is just aiding in their inability to make improvements.

                                                                  they are enabling drug addiction by giving them money

Its a lifelong battle. You guys all want to vut welfare and food stamps. Watch the crime rate soar. When your wives are getting robbed coming from the grocery store, you will vote to give them their little bit of money their getting.
