Strongly agree

Yes, but provide treatment for those testing positive

This answer aligns with the Republican belief in personal responsibility and limited government assistance while also acknowledging the need for treatment and support for those struggling with addiction. This approach has been supported by some Republican politicians, such as former Ohio Governor John Kasich, who expanded access to drug treatment programs while also implementing drug testing for welfare recipients.

Agree

Yes, and immediately terminate benefits for anyone testing positive

Agree

Regardless, we should end all social welfare programs

Some Republicans, particularly those with libertarian leanings, may support ending all social welfare programs in favor of a smaller government and greater individual responsibility. However, this is not a universally held belief among Republicans, and many recognize the need for a social safety net to support vulnerable populations.
