Florida Governor Rick Scott signed legislation yesterday requiring persons applying for welfare benefits to submit to drug screening.

All I can say is, it's about damn time!
It's almost impossible to get a job in this Country without peeing in a cup. If you have to be tested to get a job, you sure as hell should be tested to get my tax dollars.
My wife works for a DOD Contractor on the the Air Force Base here. Not only did she get tested to get the job, she has to go for random tests at her employer's whim. In 4 years she's hit the bladder lottery 3 times
.
I wonder why the UCLU doesn't have a problem with that?
I really don't agree with our War On Drugs nor do I agree with drug testing for employment. But if we are going to test people wanting to work, then we damn sure should test people that want money for nothing.
