I can understand completely! There was a time when my husband and I needed a little help. We drew food stamps and unemployment after he got out of the military and was looking for a job. That didn't mean we were lazy drug addicted bums, it just meant that we were in transition and needed a little help. When we were back on our feet, we stopped collecting. And you're right, I'm not really sure how people manage to abuse the system because there's a tremendous amount of paperwork and checking in. 

Although I do know a woman who has been in and out of rehab several times; she's single and has had her children removed from her custody. She was still able to draw food stamps and unemployment even though she wasn't even looking for work. So yeah, I'm all for drug testing for welfare. I don't think it's right for those kind of people to be able to draw government money so they can use what cash they have to buy drugs. But I'm also of a mind that they need to be able to regulate what food stamps can buy. I think it should be able to include other necessities like toilet paper and hygiene. And I think it should be regulated so that unhealthy food can't be purchased. I watched that same woman use her food stamps to buy nothing but junk food and soda. But that's REALLY pushing the envelope on regulations and restrictions and I know the majority of people would probably be against the government telling you what kinds of food you can buy. But part of me says that if you're using their money (tax payer money), you should according to their regulations. I don't particularly enjoy the thought of part of my husband's paycheck going to help folks kill themselves with unhealthy food.
