NC Senate approves drug testing for welfare
NC Senate approves drug testing for welfare
RALEIGH, N.C. — The N.C. Senate approved a bill Wednesday that would require people applying for public assistance to pass a drug test and would require local Department of Social Service offices to conduct criminal background checks on applicants, according to WRAL. The drug test requirement calls for applicants to pay for the test and bans anyone with a positive test from receiving benefits for a year, unless they can show they have completed a substance abuse treatment program and can pass a subsequent test. Under current law, DSS offices may ask someone if they’re a fugitive or conduct a criminal background check, but they are not allowed to share that information with local sheriffs or other law enforcement agencies. According to WRAL, the House version of the bill called for social service workers to call law enforcement if someone applying for Food and Nutrition Assistance, what many people call food stamps, or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, which are cash payments, is found to have an outstanding warrant. The Senate version says the Social Services Commission will draft rules for what information will be shared with law enforcement. Senators voted 43-6 in favor of House Bill 392, which will now head back to the House for a final vote on changes to the measure. http://myfox8.com/2013/07/10/nc-sena...g-for-welfare/ |

Best part is the end when he asks the official to pee in a cup and the guy thinks he shouldn't have to. Why not? He gets money from tax payers also... Last edited by KChiefer; 07-10-2013 at 10:17 PM.. |

I don't understand why conservatives support this.
Increases the Size of Government. Increases Government reach into the lives of private citizens. Increase Government Spending. Does Conservative contempt for poor people really outweigh their supposed small government ideals?

Can't drug politicians who are supported by the Public's dime. Can't drug Corporations who take subsides. Can drug test poor people.

Ahh, so glad to hear you say that! That means we shouldn't be supporting their freeloading asses with welfare, right? |

It is just a myth that people on welfare are freeloading.

and my Grandma is friends with another "disabled" 400 lb. woman that gets the state to pay for her apartment, car, gas, food, bills and health care because she's "disabled" because she ate herself to 400 lbs. and my gf used to live with a 40 year old woman WITHOUT ANY KIDS that wasn't obese that lived off WIC (WOMEN, infant and children) stamps for 2 years before my gf got sick of her trying to get out of paying rent with her tax dollars and kicked her out |

While there are no doubt plenty of people taking advantage of the system, testing is a waste of time and money. It costs more than it saves and while it might kick a few people off for smoking pot, I think it is safe to assume our prescription drug abusers would be free to continue on their merry way because, after all they have a prescription.

But your anecdotal evidence is not a bases to believe the majority of people who receive help do not need it.

- it completely ignores the 4th amendment, and you can't not go through it in other words take another route in efforts to not go through it. - it doesn't save money....in fact it's a giant waste of money and resources. - out of the entire night of stopping and harrassing hundreds and hundreds of people depending on where it's at, only a handful or 2 are generally arrested, and sometimes it's on something else other than alcohol like a warrant or driving on a suspended license. - No evidence?? All the evidence you need is to just take a trip down to your local 7/11 and look at the clowns that hang around the store at night. Let's not be stupid here. The reason why some people are below the poverty level is because they're stupid and made bad decisions growing up. Some may be technically out of their hands...tough shit it's not my problem and I don't think I should have to pay for someone else's food unless I choose to.

Will never pass in current form. If it does, ACLU will challenge in court for years.
