Life in the Great Recession: 

After a U-turn in the politics of poverty, food stamps, a program once scorned as "welfare," enjoys broad new support. Following deep cuts in the 1990s, Congress reversed course to expand eligibility, cut red tape and burnish the program’s image, with a special effort to enroll the working poor. These changes, combined with soaring unemployment, have pushed enrollment to record highs, with one in eight Americans now getting aid.

Hey, Grant, I'll support drug-testing welfare recipients if we also drug-test officers and directors of all companies, public or private, that get government subsidies or bailouts.

Or if you pay for the testing. Whichever.
