Fewer junkies sucking up welfare money means more that will be available to the really deserving.

It might be worth pointing out - again - that when research was carried out on this subject the level of drug use for welfare recipients was less than half of that of the regular population.
The way some of you guys are talking you'd think drugs were a mandatory accompaniment to welfare. Quote:

(An analysis by the state showed that the drug testing requirement didn’t tamp down applications.) As for it not being a violation - well, you're wrong. It's irrelevant whether someone is going to apply for welfare voluntarily or not. It's a government service that is provided to someone that's paid for by their tax dollars. The judge who blocked the law found the same: "In October, a federal judge in Orlando temporarily blocked the state of Florida from conducting drug tests on welfare applicants. U.S. District Judge Mary S. Scriven wrote in her ruling that drug tests are “well established” as a means of search under the Fourth Amendment and that the state had not demonstrated a substantial need to justify “suspicionless” drug testing. " The mere act of applying for welfare is not a crime worthy enough of a government search of your person.

Nothing in this country will ever be fixed or improved, we will always have people fighting against it.

Improving and fixing the welfare system is a great goal. This is not the way to do it, however. It's childish and simplistic thinking that wastes taxpayer dollars.

Never a truer statement. It is the nature of the beast as it were. The people need to change. Was the stigmata of welfare different 60 years ago compared to today?

Oh, sure, because we know 99% of welfare recipients would pass the drug test. People who work have to pass drug screening to pay taxes for those who take welfare.

97% for marijuana. At least in the Florida study.

This is a classic boondoggle project thats entire premise rests on the perception that all public assistance recipients are a bunch of lazy minorities who spend every day doing drugs. Apparently when we get down to the dollars and cents of it, that doesn't seem to be the case. The fact that people would defend wasting government money to try and prove this when it's already been disproven is a stupid idea. Of course thinking differently would involve people putting some thought into it and possibly changing their worldview, and that may be too much to ask of those unwilling or incapable of doing so.

10-drug instant result (5 mins) cup test - $6.95. Somebody, once again in government, needs to learn to write contracts/purchase orders - they could've been making a public profit.

Yes, let's change our worldview and not be stupid, top of my priority list.
And who the hell said anything about "minorities"? Don't throw the race card in this.

I try to live by the philosophy of always be learning and always be challenging what you know to be true.

I'm pretty sure everybody thinks that way (whether they actually practice it or not...). And thanks for challenging what I know to be true.
