[QUOTE="brett636, post: 872758, member: 249"] You've already highlighted the savings. Even if the amount is rather small it is still something, and I have already pointed out how future government assistance applications will include fewer current drug users because they simply don't want to be found out. I would be the first to tell you that the government has no business supporting any business or corporation soley to keep them in business. I despise corporate welfare in all its forms, and lets be honest about it, the only reason we have so much corporate welfare is due to the politicians betting that some of that money goes full circle and ends up in their own re-election campaign funds. Its the same reasoning behind democrats fighting so hard for public sector unions in states like Wisconsin. Its not because they give a damn about the workers, its because they don't want to lose a cash cow for their own campaigns. I'm curious how you propose drug testing a corporation, or who within that corporation should be tested. The government should focus more on the rights of its people and less on its own power and prestige. Yes it is sad, and I know of more than a few who have signed up for feeders in the last year and turned it down once they were reminded of the mandatory drug testing. Although its really in their own best interests that these people don't make it into feeders because the stuff they get away with in the hub would not fly in feeders like taking days, weeks, months, off at a time(yes, I said months) due to their own inability to recognize what is really important in their life. These people I referred to signed up, and either got everything ready to go in or was in the process of doing so until they were reminded of the drug test. Yes, the drug testing was the sole and only reason they turned down an opportunity to go into the feeder department, and I'm certain the same will hold true for any drug user who wants to sign up for government assistance, but doesn't want to be tested.
