I've always had a hard time when I see a healthy man standing on a corner with a sign asking for money or even food when I have a lady at my work place that is wheelchair bound, can't even use her hands and works the computer keyboard with a rubber mouthpiece. She works and some guy that can won't.

That lady probably got the job because she is disabled, and for all you know, she took that mans job. The disabled and minorities always get preferential treatment. Not saying whether it's right or wrong. Just how society works nowadays.
Having said that, I agree that drug testing should be required for anyone taking taxpayer money. But consider the consequences if that happened. Although the thread of drug testing might scare some, there would be millions of people that would lose their benefits, which means that if they cant get jobs, and cant get government money, they would resort to illegal activities in order to survive. Crime would skyrocket.
And a note about alcohol. MADD is pushing to have Interlock type devices put into EVERY car made, so that EVERYONE has to blow into a Breathalyzer to operate their car. Again, I dont know if that is a good thing or not. It would be a major pain for people like my wife and I who dont drink at all, but it could have many benefits. Just this weekend, one of my sons friends (23 years old, and always at our house when he was a kid)) was killed at a party. He got drunk, went outside, and passed out in the driveway. A girl, who had been drinking at another party, drove up to the house and ran him over while he lay there passed out. She said she never saw him. A very tragic situation that could have been avoided if she had not been able to operate her vehicle.
