I don't have a problem with the concept. I'm also in favor of limiting benefits for a set period of time.
I'm wondering how and by whom such a test would be administered -- the government?
And let's play this out -- supposed drugs were detected? Then what? Would it result in immediate suspension or would there be some kind of hearing or retesting? What about the potential for false positives?

The problem with these kinds of solutions is this -- it creates a seperate bureaucracy to administer it and deal with it. For every argument for this kind of restriction, there is another argument against it and plays on emotions like "poor innocent children".

I'm in favor for what people did before the advent of government sponored social programs. I think their families should deal with it. The problem is that families don't even want to deal with their elderly parents, much less down-on-their-luck or n'er do well relatives. That's why social programs were started.
