Yes, absolutely!!
27 million drug tests for disabled Veterans---who are HIGHLY LIKELY to be on prescription drugs; 8 million drug tests for impoverished senoirs who are HIGHLY LIKELY To be on prescription drugs; 3 million drug tests for abused and neglected children who are HIGHLY LIKELY to already be fearful of strangers and sexual violations??
Then, we'll have to deny medicare for a disabled person in Arkansas who took one hit of a joint to deal with his pain, but approve another disabled person in California because pot is legal there. Then, we'll have to deny aid to a Veteran in Maine for using pot once or twice to ease his pain, but approve a single mother in Texas who has prescriptions for extremely psychotropic medications.
And that's just ONE test, You would have to pay for billions of them, if you wanted random testing. I thought the right didn't like taxpayer money for the poor and disabled?? Why would you suggest more money being spent on them??
A FAR CHEAPER option would be for the right--who claims to always 'know someone who is defrauding the system'----to REPORT THOSE PEOPLE to the proper authorities, and leave my abused children out of your drug testing.
