How many people live in poverty and continue to spend taxpayers money on drugs? Why are people against drug tests for welfare and food stamps? Why would you deny a drug test? Are you spending the money that you supposedly don't have on illegal substances
You do realize a small number of states have tried to do drug testing for welfare recipients? In Tennessee, out of over 800 people tested, only one tested positive. That's less than 1 percent. Other states had similar results.
In Florida, during the four months the state tested for drug use, only 2.6% of applicants tested positive. Meanwhile, Florida has an illegal drug use rate of 8%, meaning far fewer people on services are using drugs than their better-off counterparts. The drug testing cost taxpayers more money than it saved, and was ruled unconstitutional last year. Can you say massive failure?
Anyway, you must be a Republican.
