The Pros And Cons Of Social Welfare

There are many people that are against welfare recipients to get a drug test and there are others that are for it. There two sides of the story why people do and don’t. Social Welfare is a program that provides assistance to needy individuals and families. The type and amount of welfare available to individuals and families vary for country, state or region(dictionary). Many people say that they shouldn’t do it because of the people that benefit from it are mostly children’s. Many say that if they do the drug testing is going to cost the government more money than now. In my opinion Social Welfare goal is not to enforce drug policy; it is to provide aid to the less fortunate and afford them a quality of life that will help them escape poverty.

Even do some may not need it and they are just taking advantage of the governments and taking the money that other people that do need it. This is something that helps each parents a little to not feel that they cannot put a plate in the table for their kids. There are many families that depend on Social Welfare. The government should do want will benefit the children of all the people that benefit from Social Welfare. There are 17 million children’s that suffer from hunger and by making the requirement of taking a drug test may make the number go higher than what it is.

Currently, this law that requires drug testing
