Yes, that 2nd article that you posted does mirror the majority of my concerns. I just feel like that Michigan is feeding into a certain group of people's
"inner-city drug momma" stereotype of a welfare recipient, which is not the majority.
I think a lot of people forget that folks who live in rural, economically depressed areas (i.e Mississippi, Alabama, Kansas, etc.) receive benefits too. In these types of areas where jobs are few and far between, receiving these gov't benefits can be the difference between life and death.
I just do not think that drug testing for the sake of reducing the amount of people on welfare is effective.
