Be careful of the slippery slope you are so intent on giving the government the ability to tilt at their will. Just like the Nazi "checkpoints" you ardently embraced, once you give these wannabe Hitlerites a new power otr authoruty, they ain't giving it up -- only EXPANDING it use....of course, most of you narrow thinking, bootlicking, yes-men (and women) would be okay with letting them line us up and strip search us every morning as we leave for work... just as long as it isn't YOU getting stripped. Because YOU are guilt free and perfect in every way. Don't slip too far as you cheer the latest and greatest new "idea".

Well, I feel that all people getting FREE money should be tested if they want or plan to get FREE money... Especially if I am the one paying for it... Especially if I have to pay for their use and I am struggling just to make ends meet...

In fact I think senators should be tested as well since they to get FREE money...

That will only hurt the kids who are the innocents here. Sounds like a deadbeat dad that wants to shun his responsability. You made the kid support it and get over it.
