Help from the government

I can’t figure out why the government hasn’t taken action against people who are taking complete advantage of the system.  They could easily drug test people that are getting any type of financial assistance from them and more than likely get rid of over half the people that are getting help.  The United States might not have such a financial debt if they would consider this.  I know personally of people that get help like health (Medicaid), food stamps or even TANF (cash) and that sell their food stamps and give their card to people for actual money to get their extra-curricular activities.  I personally am a single mother and have worked since the day I turned 18 and had a 5 year old at the age of 17, my senior year; there is no way I could ever make it without the help of the government and am thankful for it, but I wonder if they could give me more help if some people weren’t taking advantage of the system.  I think if the government would think about it more and see that a lot of people, no not all people, but a lot are taking advantage of the system; and well the government is getting screwed royally just like people who need the system more in their favor.  I believe also for the fathers that aren’t taking the full responsibility of being a parent and skipping out on their child support; that the government could take the money they save from giving assistance to the wrong people and use it more towards finding the fathers who are skipping out.  I think that if the government would get a handle on the resources they are putting out; it might start getting ourselves out of debt. 

I believe that the government can setup drug testing for everyone who is using their benefits.  This way they will know for people who are just abusing their benefits they are offering and for people that aren't maybe can get more help in areas that they need it.
