It is explored that US government has passed almost $11.0 billion in supporting the drug welfare families, educating them and preventing diseases in them. It is no doubt a huge amount to be allocated in the budget of 2016, (National Drug Control Budget, 2015). It is no doubt a sympathetic situation that government is spending so much for saving the drug victims and compromising the other important areas of infrastructure development, education, health care, etc. Further it is explored that drug abuses are very common in the US. US government has announced the federal funds for supporting the families of drug addicts and to save them from becoming victim. However, almost 8,300 people died due to the abuse of drugs, in the year 2003.
Some proposed that there should be no spending done over drug welfare. There should be no way support the drug habits by paying dollars. They have argued that even keeping eye on the usage of public assistance would not even say money. On oppose, some has appreciated and respected the work of the taxpayers that are helping drug addicted in becoming work-qualified and good parents.
It is found that drug test and volunteer work favoring party feel that if government make drug test mandatory, no undeserving families will claim welfare. Though initial cost of the programs and drug testing is expensive; but in the long term it will eradicate the cruse of drug and will also help the entire family from getting out of the drug curse. Treatment is no doubt expensive but it will make a person to avail benefit in the long run.
