Our goal here is not to make it harder to get government assistance; it’s to make it easier to get a job,”
I’d love to hear an explanation of how drug testing SNAP applicants makes it easier for anyone to get a job.
Maybe the plan is to hire the unemployed to work in drug testing facilities. ///

True, except no one really gets hurt with these “No Shariah Law here” laws. It’s mostly just a waste of time. The drug testing nonsense will discourage some from applying for benefits that they need.
There is a deadly substance that probably is widely used among SNAP & welfare recipients - tobacco. The historical ties between the right and the tobacco industry are what stops them from going after that though. So much for actually caring about the people involved.
