And would you have gone to apply for them if you were going to be drug-tested on a weekly basis? Because, as you said, the process is a difficult one as it is. To add one more indignity to it is just one too many, IMO.
But as SaladBar stated, drug-testing welfare recipients is the least of our worries. When our government spends billions bailing out the private sector and trillions on a war that was based on false intelligence, giving food stamps to someone who likes their beer is not making it to the top of my list of problems.
On the other hand, the Dow was down, but only slightly, and the DJIA is still up almost 1,000 points since it's low of 6469. It's something, anyway.
