I think that a drug test to get a welfare check is a fantastic idea. It would save the welfare system millions and pay out only to the people who realy deserve it. A few weeks without a check and maybe some of them will go get jobs.

The idea that they will just go out an commit crimes to get money is also a valid one. This will also solve the problem, but in a diffrent way. The welfare junkies who turn to crime will either get locked up or done in. Either way the problem is solved.

Personaly, I am in favor of "done in". I think of it in terms of spiderman. If you let the bad guy get away, he will only go out an hurt more people,a.k.a. "Uncle ben". If you deal with the bad guy when he tries to hurt you, then he can't hurt anyone else , ever.
