Random drug-testing of the members of Congress:
WASHINGTON — While most Americans like the idea of drug testing for welfare recipients, they LOVE the idea of drug testing for members of Congress.
According to a new HuffPost/YouGov poll, 64 percent of Americans favor requiring welfare recipients to submit to random drug testing — a measure pushed by Republican lawmakers in recent years — while 18 percent oppose it. But an even stronger majority said they’re in favor of random drug testing for members of Congress, by a 78 percent to 7 percent margin. Sixty-two percent said they “strongly” favor drug testing for congressional lawmakers, compared to only 51 percent who said the same of welfare recipients.
Heck, I’d settle for sanity checks.
Random checks of their blood for drugs? I’d like regular checks of their financial records (and freezers) for payoffs.
How about any member of Congress found without drugs in their system be forced to ingest some?
