If You Get Any Government Check ---- Pee In A Cup ---- Amazed That This Anti Bill Of Rights Policy

has gotten so far. Why are so many Americans so willing to antagonize the poor and vulnerable. Will we drug test the disabled as well who get a check because many do. And where will the idiocy stop.

This policy is so unAmerican and nazi like it is sick. What ever happened to probable cause and privacy?

who went to some official gathering where such a policy was being discussed and asked on of the politicians to pee in a cup. If this goes forth, it should also be mandatory for all the governing officials and their staff to do the same. Imagine the cost - to taxpayers - of all those lab analyses...

I don't have a link, but I read that the cost of the drug tests was much higher than the money that was saved by denying benefits to those who didn't test clean.
