Pass drug tests to get welfare!
Is this a good idea or will it lead to more crime?
I personally am FOR the move.. but what say you ?

Florida is enacting a bill requiring that Florida's welfare recipients pass drug tests in order to get benefits.
Governor Scott told the media at the time that the law requiring drug tests for welfare recipients would "increase personal responsibility" and "personal accountability" by having 50,000 to 100,000 welfare recipients tested a year. "The goal of this is to make sure we don't waste taxpayers' money," Scott said. "And hopefully, more people will focus on not using illegal drugs."
A welfare recipient who fails the test will be barred from receiving state benefits for six months. After a second failed test, the state will cut off benefits for three years.

Brit man, I'm in Southampton. Spending pounds on fish & chips...and Guinness... :) Very expensive here...I think I'll come back to Qatar...
Guinness and Fish and Chips???I don't know you from Adam but I love you :-)
I agree with this up to a point - however I hope if the family are 'innocent' they still get help.I would hate to think 'a family' suffers because of one person.
My brother... great to hear from you.. Where are you and hope you are enjoying life .. :O)
Brit, how are you mate? Holland ruls, Florida sux! Peace!
Also, the money they will save can go towards increasing crime prevention and prisons in the event that they feel the need to commit offences in order to get money to feed their habits.
