If you were lending money to someone directly who kept asking for loans, and they kept spending it on drugs, would you keep giving them the money?

I mean, if I have a friend who keeps borrowing money from me and squandering it, I'm going to stop lending money to him at some point. For some reason though when the picture gets bigger, and it become a governmental program lending tax dollars, our view of the problem becomes different.

I'm not necessarily for drug testing welfare recipients, but I definitely can understand the motivation behind it. Make no mistake: a drug addict in poverty is going to die or end up in jail in the majority of cases. Plus, if I am struggling to pay bills or save money, I cut back on the non-necessities as best I can. I definitely would include recreational drugs as a non-necessity.
