5 U.S. states have passed laws requiring welfare recipients to be tested for drugs. Proponents argue that testing will prevent public funds from being used to subsidize drugs habits and help get treatment for those that are addicted to drugs. Opponents argue that it is a waste of money since the tests will cost more money than they save.

Yes, test EVERYBODY receiving money from the government including employees and politicians, with benefits and funding terminated for anybody testing positive
@8KJM8BG4yrs4Y
Yes, but instead of providing monetary support which could end back up in drug purchases, provide a limited amount of support for those testing positive.
