Neutral

No, only if they have a criminal history related to drug abuse

Disagree

Yes, test anyone receiving money from the government including employees and politicians

Strongly disagree

Yes

Very strongly disagree

Regardless, we should end all social welfare programs

ALDE supports a strong social safety net and the provision of welfare services to support individuals in need. The idea of ending all social welfare programs would be fundamentally opposed to their platform and principles.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and immediately terminate benefits for anyone testing positive
