Drug tests for unemployment insurence applicants?
Wow, Craig Blair looks to be a rising GOP star..... He'll fit right in with the rest of the wing-nut side show!

1. I don't agree with it...
but I can sort of understand the reasoning behind it. Many jobs drug test and to get unemployment you have to be "ready and willing" to work. Personally, I am against drug testing all together. Except, maybe for certain high risk jobs. But then isn't alcohol equally dangerous in the same way that drugs would?

2. there are also many jobs that do not drug test
So someone who can't pass a drug test could still be ready and willing to work.

4. I totally agree...
I was just trying to look at another side of it. I personally believe that they are just trying to keep the money out of the hands of those that need it most.
