[quote=Commander]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?[/quote]

Not shocking. Drugs tend to be expensive, so it's something well off people are probably more willing to pay for than people who are already struggling to get by.
