You're making up assumptions that people whom refuse are automatically guilty. Most I'm sure were outraged by the more big government wasteful spending from the GOP.
While I'm sure some refused on principal I'm doubtful it was more than a handful. If you're truly in need you're going to do what is necessary to feed your family. In any event I don't see any difference between an employer requiring drug testing or the welfare office.
This hasn't been wasteful spending, if we are to go by the chart they have saved $30 for every dollar spent. It's an enormous success for saving money.

I doubt outrage would stand in the way of getting free Obama money. They were druggies and didn't want to get caught.

I don't know what you're looking at, the OP's link and everyone else is reporting the bill has been a failure costing the taxpayer over 45K, not including other fees.
Who honestly thinks the tea party even cared if people on welfare were using drugs or how much it cost--they just want to embarrass and punish the people receiving services. It gives them a little tingle down the leg...
I'm a business owner. We can't afford to have the tea party in power much longer--they're going to bankrupt state budgets with this big government, anti conservative crap they're trying to disguise as republican policy. They need to get out of the party.

I would suggest reading more than what you want to read. Here's the table again that takes into consideration the 1500 people that refused the test.
They might of spent $50k on tests but nearly 2 million in benefits was denied.

I couldn't agree more. It's another perfect example of stupid huge government tea party legislation that is wasting taxpayer's dime.

You are not posting a source link, plus this is only a cherry picked segment of the first quarter only to some results.
Post a source and the entire year's full results, then we'll talk.
