welfare, unemployment and any other free assistance.im sick of watching my neighbors in north saint louis get 400 dollars in food stamps and selling them for 100 dollars in crack or heroin!then beg the church to help with diapers food electric bills.stealing from home depot selling gift cards.ripping off steaks at the grocery store to buy crack and the next day expect you to hand out money or food .BS! thats what it is.i personaly know people who collect unemployment sit around drinking as soon as you can buy beer getting drunk talking about how the gov.keeps them down and bragging about collecting unemployment fo an extra 25 weeks extention laughing at working for a living. if you want some dope in saint louis for food stamps go to blair and destrehan,or blair from downtown to past the watertower
 
mmm-k

And then what? Please think about the results of things before you go off on a rant.

Lets say a city does this ... and then lets say that 10,000 people test positive and they have 20,000 children collectively. Now what do you do?

Even if a mother is smoking crack, her kids shouldn't starve to death. It's definitely harder to justify food stamps for able-bodied adults with no dependents. Part of the reason for that is that the food stamp program was conceived as an agricultural subsidy as much as it was a welfare program.

Dude relax...You already have some great answers. I just wanted to school ya in "Unemployment"...Not welfare... If you really witness these neighbors then do something about it. Don't just watch.
 
When members of Congress get drug tested before they take office, I'll support drug testing for everything...until then, I'll be against it.
 
Drug testing is unconstitutional, and simply wrong.

I agree it's wrong how some people take advantage of the system, but our system is not a kind one to most. Take what you can get and don't be so interested in the business of others that isn't affecting you. If someone gets food stamps, it's for one reason or another.

Things have a way of working themselves out in the end anyway.
