Republicans draft bill to drug test EI collectors

Those on unemployment in the U.S. may soon have to pee in a cup to get their benefits.

Recently, 54th Speak of the House Paul Ryan drafted a bill that would allow states to drug test those receiving federal unemployment benefits.

Next, the bill will go over to President Donald Trump’s desk to potentially be passed. So far, many of his policies have put more power in the hands of the states, making this one very plausible.

Even the policy is still up in the air, many people are speaking out against it.

What do you think of the new policy? Should people be drug tested before receiving benefits? Let us know in the comments below.
