while I dont agree with drug testing for drivers licenses, I certainly do
support it for collecting government benefits, go hang out at the welfare
office for an afternoon and when you see the bitch in her huge new SUV
with the 22" spinners you may reconsider, I also believe these people
should be kept under light surveillance for a few months and spot checks
throughout the year. I've seen plenty of abuse with the system and it's
not simply because people can exploit it, it's because there's little in
place to prevent exploitation and nothing done to stop it when it's occurring

remember, it's your tax dollars paying for some woman to help support
her live in jobless boyfriends crack/meth habit, you should be concerned
with whom the money is actually benefiting

May 2007 – Los Angeles County
Lana M. and her husband collected welfare benefits in 2003, claiming they earned less than $24,000.  But authorities say Lana M., the former office manager of a job-training center for immigrant welfare recipients, also owned a liquor store and recycling business.  Authorities say, she drove a $76,000 luxury car, shopped at Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue and had $147,980 stashed in her bedroom dresser.

you're right, it's better to continue giving them money that was confiscated from productive members of society

Yes, because putting them in jail would be free, right?

welfare recipients, being inclined to breaking the law, will most likely continue to break the law were welfare taken away.

A real kicker would be putting time limits on welfare (much like unemployment), reducing the payouts based upon having more dependents (discourage breeders),
