Most jobs now require the workplace to be drug free. I was also subject to random drug testing at my job.

So why are so many liberal groups against recipients of public assistance to be verified drug free? They will need to be if ever they are to be gainfully employed again, and so it is logical to nip it in the bud and to make it a requirement for anyone who is requesting a "hand up" in the manner of public funds.

If people need their "privacy", then by all means they can remain private, and also privately support themselves. If they have dependents, then they may have to forgo stewardship of them until they get their drug addled selves together.
