In the case of people on welfare, there is an OBVIOUS and BLATANT abuse of drugs by a large number of them...and taxpayers are getting tired of footing the bill for their crack addicted children, and other related medical problems that come as a result of that. I know it sounds cruel, but I'm sick of it!!
And to address students in college being tested...first of all, when you go to college, the ultimate goal is to give back to society in some way by becoming a PRODUCTIVE member... and our country....as great as it is will assist you. HOWEVER...I don't know if you went to college or not sweetheart, but WE have to pay it back!!!! We are expected to have a job within 6 months after we graduate to pay the $$ back! I know you said work study, but that's a small portion of what the state gives students. ANd look at the name W-O-R-K study!!! We can't just stay at home and wait until the first to get paid!!!!
But hey....if the gov't was willing to PAY FOR ALL of my education, and only req'd me piss in a cup randomly, I'd be all for it! And last time I checked, college students have to go through a lot of -ish to get food stamps..........and I don't know of any of my friends who had rent based on their income!
PLEASE don't get me started on comparing student LOANS and/ or WORK study to WELFARE! !! !! !
OK I need to go relax, relate, and release!

YES you DEFINITELY need to relax. Please don't address me as if I am ignorant. I am currently in college and a work study student so I think I should have some right to state my opinion. As far as footing the bill for crack addicted children, you don't seem cruel but something else which I will not address. There are a number of people on welfare who DO WORK..or did you not know that? Child Care is WELFARE, all government aid is still welfare, worked for or not. You basically contradicted yourself by saying who says they are crack heads then you said footing the bill for crack addicted children.....hmmm Everyone is not fortunate enough to be college educated and have good jobs, come from decent families. REALITY is 52% of the minority population lives below poverty level. Would you want members of your family to do without just because they take 25.00 of of your check each week? I don't like the fact that I work all day and don't see every penny of it but a lot of people come from homes where they received welfare and then do great things. It's sad how so many black people are the first to yell NO WELFARE but a few years prior they were probably receiving it. But anyway, I never said having them tested is wrong I simply said if we are going to test them then we should test everyone. So what the hell are you getting all worked up about?
