In another form of complete hypocrisy and class warfare, the IN state GOP has proposed legislation to require those on public assistance to take random drug tests. The state democrats amended the bill requiring that lawmakers themselves, whom also receive government funds, should also take drug tests, in which the GOP quickly shoots down it's own bill

“After it passed, Rep. McMillin got pretty upset and pulled his bill. If anything, I think it points out some of the hypocrisy. If we’re going to impose standards on drug testing, then it should apply to everybody who receives government money.”

He must have. Why would anybody be reluctant to submit to a drug test unless they wanted to conceal their use of illegal drugs? There's just no other explanation.

I'm sure anyone would have to be on drugs to propose something so stupid
