and I think you entered the discussion with some knowledge about the issue. Since you had to argue against it, then I can safely assume you were talking to a right wing host? It's certainly a right wing idea and was already enacted in Florida, and that has proven only a very small percentage (from memory I want to say 1-2%) of those applying for public assistance, failed the drug test.

I have debated this issue with right wing acquaintances a few times and have found the best question to ask them is when did Republicans become Big Brother and supporters of a nanny state? Ask them why they are for bigger government and willing to add yet another cost to taxpayers with little result? No one has yet been able to answer those simple questions. You'll even be able to see a rusty wheel begin to turn in their little pea brains. LOL
