The Labor Department has determined that it is okay to administer drug tests to recipients of unemployment benefits. That is a great idea. It is such a great idea, in fact, we should not stop there. I think anyone receiving benefits from the Federal government should be subject to drug testing. Why should the taxpayers be subsidizing anyone’s bad behavior?
Anyone who takes a deduction for mortgage interest should be peeing in a bottle. Social Security recipients, you are at the trough and you are next. Anyone who has set up a trust account to take advantage of our tax laws should be a suspect. If your health insurance is tax-deductible, say “ahh?” Did you deduct that charitable contribution you made? I could go on. As it turns out, every man, woman, and child is beholding to the government in one form or another. That does not make us a nation of drug addicts. That makes us all citizens of the United States.
