Sad thing is not everyone got helped ( not everyone gets it)

Not everyone who got help used the help in the correct way

Problems with welfareUs departments of health and human services states

10% of the people on welfare in

2011 were using illicit drugs. out of the

6.8% who were not on welfare and not using drugs

Who's taxes are helping paying for their welfares checks??

YOURS!!

DON’T YOU WISH YOU COULD PICK WHO YOUR MONEY SUPPORTED

Florida canThey now do drug testing on people who are

wanting help from welfare.

They know their money is going to people who are going to use there money and housing responsibly the way it was suppose to be.

Unlike Oregon

23 states sent bills over to the legislator to get the bill passed, to be able to drug test for welfare

Some people may say this is unconditional , I ask How?For the average 6.8 percent who work everyday and pay there taxes,- drug testing workersHow is that fair to be supporting people taking advantage of a system that was created to help people in need.?

Drug testing people for welfareHelps re assure your

money is actually going to a good place.

Protect program

Not down the street to the drug dealer at the corner.

Lets get this law passed in all states Needs to be a nation

wide thing not just a one state thing.
