Republicans have made headlines this year by demanding that people collecting unemployment benefits and public assistance be subject to drug testing. Now Iowa Republican state senator Mark Chelgren (Ottumwa) proposed Thursday that people who receive child support payments should also be drug tested if the person paying the support requests it, according to a report at Think Progress.
The Family Research Council Action Committee has lauded freshman Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) for his "unwavering support of the family," despite the fact that Walsh's ex-wife claims he owes her more than $100,000 in child support payments.
