Agree

Yes, but provide treatment for those testing positive

Disagree

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

While the PES supports transparency and accountability, they would likely view universal drug testing, including for government employees and politicians, as an unnecessary measure that could infringe on personal freedoms and privacy.

Very strongly disagree

Regardless, we should end all social welfare programs

Ending all social welfare programs would be completely contrary to the PES's core beliefs and objectives.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and immediately terminate benefits for anyone testing positive

This approach would be viewed by the PES as punitive and counterproductive, undermining the objectives of social welfare programs to support and reintegrate vulnerable populations.
