Just legalize drugs, problem solved.

Doesn't Kansas have a bunch of farmers receiving govt aid? They all need to be drug tested-everyone in the family.

Bwahahaha!! You just as well have them test themselves because the majority of them are probably rich farmers or have farming roots.

you dont know any farmers do you.

And people laugh at me when I say socialism is anathema to freedom.

The US taxpayer/government is an authoritarian asshole when it comes to how their money is spent.

When the taxpayer/government becomes your parent, expect to live by their rules and give up your freedoms one by one.

In fact, most of the freedoms we've lost already have been lost on the basis of the "cost to society" arguments.

While we're at it, ALL government employees, from city through federal levels, should be regularly and randomly drug tested.

After all, THEY TOO are on the dole...getting paid with taxpayer dollars. (and many are even less productive than the average welfare recipient)

I agree with the drug test being manditory to recieve welfare.

I have to take a drug test in order to get a job, which provides me the opportunity to earn money. But then if some one is going to get a portion of the money I worked for, they shouldn't be required to be free of any illegal drug problems?

The average farmer income for 2008 was nearly $90,000, almost twice the median.
