SOMETHING CLEARLY UNFAIR ABOUT REQUIRING DRUG TESTS OF ALL AID RECIPIENTS

Interesting that so many people seem to think it's OK to mandate drug
testing for welfare recipients, at least on the grounds of saving
taxpayer money. Do they think the process of testing all those people
is free?

And if this is a matter of principle with them, then shouldn't we also
test anyone who receives money from the taxpayers? I know, that would
be a lot of people, because a lot of people are employed by
governmental units -- police, firefighters, teachers -- and then how
about companies that enjoy tax breaks? Shouldn't we test their CEOs
and members of their boards of directors?

How about companies that subcontract work let by government? Shouldn't
we test them as well? Or should we perhaps test only the workers and
not the people who run the companies? What, that's means testing? Or
maybe something else?

What's the real purpose behind these proposals anyway?
