    Default UA for Public Assistance?

    The governor of Florida recently signed an executive order requiring all recipients of public assistance (i.e. food stamps, welfare, WIC, etc.) to submit to random drug testing. Apparently if they tank the drug test the gravy train will quit running. I like the idea, I mean, it hardly seems fair for hardworking taxpayers to subsidize somebody's drug addiction. What do you think?
    Florida Gov. Rick Scott signs law requiring welfare recipients to take drug test, ACLU objects

    Of course the ACLU is lawyering up even as we speak. I must have missed that in my several readings of the U.S. Constitution. That part where the rest of us are obligated to pay for a crackhead's groceries so he'll have more money to buy crack. It's also no secret that welfare benefit cards are also widely exchanged for drugs.
