Some Help Just Hurts Critique

   In "Some Help Just Hurts" a post by the proud American talks about how people of misfortunes are abusing the fact that they get the opportunity to use food stamps to purchase items that they do not really need. For example alcoholic beverages, fake nails and other products. That don't help their situation; they just focus on some on purchasing drugs or products that make them look good. Her solution to this is having the users take a drug test to see if they should be eligible for food stamps.
     I agree but the thing is how are you going to drug test for alcohol and cigarettes according to this (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:IxipDITq4mMJ:www.netwellness.org/question.cfm/41921.htm+how+long+does+nicotine+stay+in+your+blood%3F&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=28&gl=ca) Nicotine doesn't stay in your body for very long nor does cot nine. It depends on the user, and I do not think the food stamp users will be detected for drinking either. I mean they're not going to be always intoxicated. Especially if they know that there will be drug tests. I do not know how they will test for fake nails and hair products; birthday cakes don’t apply because its food.
        Although the idea sounds good and I agree people shouldn't abuse food stamps. There is not a great solution that is addressed to stop this abusiveness. This sounds like an upset employee that is tired of watching people cheating their way through purchasing products that they don’t really need. Instead of an unbiased critique, and I would like to see the link to an article and read it because I’m interested and this blog doesn't provide it.
