Why would one want to pay to have welfare receipients take drug tests to prove that they're taking drugs? Can't we just take their word for it?

I disagree. Most state welfare offices are too busy to administer a drug test. Think about it, EACH community would have to set up a physical place to administer the test. I have no idea how many places that would be in Texas, probably 1,000+. Or another option is to outsource the testing to a place that prescreens for employers. I have no idea the cost but I bet it would be at least $100 to $150 per test. If 300,000 people are on welfare and they have 1 test a month, that is 3,600,000 tests in a year. Assume $100 a test and that is $360,000,000 million a year!!!! Now that that number an multiply it by 20 or more. Please tell me how spending that kind of money get people off of welfare? I would rather you just give them the money. It is a waste of time and money.
