WELFARE - Require Drug Tests for Recipients?

"To Receive Welfare, Should Drug Test Be Required?" PBS Newshour 3/20/2012

Excerpt

JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour): Utah passed a law this month requiring those on public assistance to take drug tests. Half of the states are considering similar measures.

Ray Suarez reports on the effort in Colorado.



COMMENT: IMHO drug testing is justified because the state has an interest in seeing that the money is going into whatever the program intends and NOT to support a drug habit.
