A private employer is not the same as the government, though. And at least in Florida it was 97.6 percent of people who passed the test.
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.
