Make all people claiming benefits take a drug test
Many people are required to take drug tests in order to do their job, including soldiers for example. They get paid, and part of their taxes goes to funding people on benefits.
We have a problem that the people in receipt of these benefits do not have to do drug tests. Frequently, benefit claimants are drug users.
We believe that all people claiming unemployment benefits should take frequent and random drug tests and be denied their benefits immediately if they fail the test.
This will save a lot of money and clean up a lot of drug problems.
