DRUGS and alcohol yes,..NOT cigarettes

Wolvie, if someone can afford to smoke nowdays, they dont need welfare either. Welfare is for people to survive that cant work. I dont want my tax dollars spent on alcohol, tobacco and sure not drugs. Period.
And yes, the savings of a program like this would more than pay for the tests with alot left over. And, if you cut down on the welfare recipients smoking, drinking and doing drugs, your going to cut way back on medicade patients, saving even more money.
We have a local hospital and several of their clinics in serious financial trouble right now, and its not for profit, because of all the deadbeats. Sad situation.
Im in pretty good terms with my state senator and represenative. I will do what I can Skeet. Maybe a idea and some introduction into next session can start the ball rolling, in MO anyhow. That is unless the liberals take over again. The majority of their base receives checks so that wont work.
