Welfare is too easy

My wife and I have talked over and again about the welfare system.  I mean, we have slaughtered the topic again and again, sort of the way we should put to death those violent killers, again and again, not humanely.  Anyways, off topic.
You see, way back when, the first few years we were married, we more than qualified for assistance, and probably should have applied, but we were both too proud.  We figured that going onto welfare meant, in some fashion, that we were losing the battle.  Of course, if we had children we would have simply to ensure they had what they needed.
We truly didn't want the assistance, so much so, that we actually lived without electricity for about two months, fortunately the stove was gas and ramen was cheap.
So we look out today and see so many people taking the assistance, shopping for food, putting the food into expensive cars and bowing their heads from the weight of the bling.  I got it, some people buy things one at a time, or fall on hard times.  I believe that the aid is there for a reason, and should not only by conditional and timed under most circumstances, but should also be contingent up on passing drug tests.  If you are being employed by whatever food stamp program your state uses, because that is what it amounts too is you are being paid as an "employee" of the state, you should be subjected to frequent and random drug testing. 
Call me fickle, but it should not be urine either, because being in the military for so many years, I know how easy it is for someone to pee into a cup without it actually coming from their own orifice.  Contingent upon your receipt of aid, your signature allows the state to randomly test your blood for toxins deemed as illegal substances, up to and including prescription drugs not prescribed to you, as well as allowing the doctors periodic checks on your chemical makeup allowing medicare/medicaid to actually spot life threatening diseases early enough to mitigate the cost of treatment for something that should have been easier to treat in the early stages.
The money for this aid comes from programs funded by taxes, those taxes that are paid by men and women that work hard to survive, many of whom barely live better than someone on aid.  If those tax payers knew (they already know it happens) that their dollars were putting food on someone else's table so that a drug addict (who traded food stamps for money-even with the card it is easy to do) can get their high, or feeding the drug addict so that what money they do bring in gives them their high, only to wind up in the hospital burning through more tax dollars, while the person who cannot afford insurance-even though they work-gets poor care or no care, then they would most assuredly be adamant about the drug testing as well.  Violation of human rights?  Not really, not if Walmart can do drug testing.  Call it a condition of employment in the state financial aid department.
