Drug test politicians

1 min read

I totally agree with the Thursday editorial, which suggested people serving in elected office should also be subject to drug testing.

Cocaine, crack and other drugs have become a thorn in the side for many people. But when it comes to our government, and to our tax dollars being spent, it is time we as a people take control of the loose cannons. If you are an elected official, then you are being paid by taxpayers and you should be given a random drug test before taking office and while serving.

If you are applying for any government assistance, then you should also be given a drug test.

What is so hard for voters to figure out here? Does anyone not read the headlines or listen to the news? I know I am tired of politicians and welfare recipients using my hard-earned money to party on. And yet they do not feel they should be tested for drugs?
