its a shame people want to think their "right" to use illegal drugs and then defraud the government of the money paid by those of us that work is ok.

Painting with an awful broad brush there. I see the right's attempt to associate all welfare recipients with lazy minorities who are out to steal the white man's treasure is working.

File an amicus curiae brief with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals with your "scientifically" derived statistics. Let me know how that goes. But again...Fourth Amendment. Bang the Constitution drum all day long until it involves poor people and single mothers. Then it's just "Screw 'em". Sad.
