I agree with Erik C’s opinion on Paul Begala’s article on if the people on welfare should be the only ones to be drug tested, or people of higher positions, such as the president, congressman, etc. should be drug tested as well. It makes sense for the people on welfare to be drug tested, so the public knows that their tax money isn’t being used for other people with financial trouble to buy drugs. If that’s what the money is being used for, they should not be allowed welfare. On the other hand, people of higher positions should also be drug tested to ensure the public that we have rightful people in our offices. In the general public, anyone on drugs and is caught gets charged with some kind of felony. It wouldn’t be right for someone to get away with drug use just because they’re in a higher position than the rest of the public. All in all, if the people put on welfare should be drug tested, so should the people in office.
