you DO have a right to privacy, until you come to the government for PUBLIC ASSISTANCE.

it's the price you pay for being coddled.

you live under the government's roof, you follow the government's rules.

Maybe they can use some of the money they get from being on welfare to pay for the drug test instead of buying steak and lobster every "paycheck from the gov", BTW I used to work at a supermarket and this is a very real problem, people buying expensive items with welfare checks. Go get a damn job if you can't find one your not trying hard enough, toughen up survival of the fittest.
