Question by honestly63: Are the states that require drug testing for welfare recipients anti-veteran or unpatriotic?
(Since 1/3 of all homeless men are veterans, and more than 2/3 of them suffer from drug/alcohol abuse, I’m guessing they are being harmed by this policy.)

I did provide a source, but maybe this one is short enough that it won’t get cut off. www.nchv.org/background.cfm
picador, I didn’t say 2/3 of all veterans, I said 2/3 of homeless veterans.

Holding up a sign that says “vet” doesn’t make you a veteran. I don’t believe that statistic for a second. Care to provide a source?

That link was cut off.

Ok, the VA provided me with a no money down home loan. What more should we do? Pay for their drugs?

Having witnessed welfare being exploited by people, I have no problem with it. The money should only be used to buy things that are necessary for their survival.

There are ways to get free of the drug and alcohol abuse.
