Even my Liberal ass thinks this is a good idea.

I think testing once would be completely pointless.
1.) It's not that hard to fudge a drug test.
2.) It's not that hard to get clean for a month, take the test, then pick up the habit again.
3.) Unlike employment, where your employer tends to have direct contact with you on a daily basis and can monitor for signs of drug use, welfare recipients don't encounter case workers on a regular basis.
Regular drug testing would be essential to make the concept of drug testing for government handouts valid, and doing so would cost a fortune.

The whole thing sounds like a great idea. Should be nation wide.
