If you can't afford a place to live but can get enough together to afford a cell phone doesn't it make sense to get one? After all many down and out people have friends and family who can't afford to support them but still need to keep in touch. In fact it is not out of the question that a few of these folks might need a cell phone to be available to a possible employer. Don't be so quick to criticize until you have walked etc etc.

As to drug tests for those receiving public assistance, I have no problem with it as long as it is not required if they give up assistance and if the get tested and turn up positive they get additional assistance in the form of treatment if requested, and a return of the assistance for which they qualify once they are clean. However, this idea will never get by Constitutional muster. In addition it begs the question of where to stop. Will you your mother or grandmother to be tested once a year to qualify for social security or medicare. Yeah yeah, I know S.S.and medicare are not public assistance on a par with welfare but they are insurance and like any insurance the many pay something knowing that at some point they may be one of the few needing much.
