States Consider Drug Tests for Welfare Recipients

[JaggedEdge]

I assume you are truly referring to AIG? What was the alternative?

As I understand it, we the tax payer, are share holders in this company. If our investment began before the initial investment we should try and save them. I believe however, they were a completely private company before the government invested out money into them; in that case, we should have let them fail. It's part of a free market.

Seeing as our money is now invested in them we should do everything in our power to get our money back.

*EDIT* Other than the above, I agree with you.

Personally I think they should test for everything including weed and if you test positive, revoke the benefits. The way I see it, if you are collecting tax payer money to live, you can't afford $25-100 a quarter. The only exception being if you live in a state that has legalized medical use and have a prescription. Drugs are a luxury and should be used by those who can afford them. From FoxNews.com: Rating: 5
