It ended up costing us more, and therefore failed. It will most likely be repealed. Also, people don't like to be treated like criminals who have to prove they are innocent of crimes, when they have committed none.
Sorry, I was wrong. It it not that it will "likely be repealed". The program is already banned, because it is likely unconstitutional. Michigan already ruled the same policy unconstitutional.
Good. That policy was a real money-hog. I hope other states learned from our mistakes.
Florida tax payers had to pay an additional $600 000 to those people who refused to take the test. And we already paid $35 a pop to test the people in the first place. The entire state of Florida (pop 19 million) found only 108 positive results, almost all of which were for pot.
In my opinion, denying and disparaging individual liberty and our privileges and immunities should be considered a conflict of interest under any form of Capitalism where the wealthy and our wealthier elected representatives can make more money with their already existing wealth simply by investing in those institutions which support those policies.

Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add “within the limits of the law,” because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual.
I have to say that it's more likely people with actual money (not welfare recipeients or food stamp users) who are more likely to be drug addictis. I'm not takling about pot smokers...I'm talking about big gun drugs that cost $$. There are only so many "food stamp lobsters" you can sell to support a serious habit. When do you go after them? I'm sure they are costing you some tax $ at some point. They just don't have a predrawn bullseye on their backs do they? Most likely becasue they are your family, friends and neighbors. You know, the GOOD people, not the POOR scum.

I would imagine it's an equal percentage across the board to some degree however when you start getting into hardcore addicts the drug itself causes poverty. If you're middle class and start using heroin it's very likely you won't be middle class for long. Functioning addicts are out there but they are the exception and not the rule.

I find this is just crazy. Unconstitutional my A_$$ !! So why isn't unconstituional for us worker bee's that have to be drug tested ? I'm sorry but free money needs to come with a stipulation. Random drug tests for welfare and unemployment recipients period.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Workers who lose their jobs would have to clear a drug screening to qualify for unemployment compensation under a proposal approved by the Texas Legislature.
This shouldn't apply to unemployment benefits, it's completely different than welfare benefits.
