Conservatives in Michigan gave drug tests to welfare recipients. None of them failed.

I used to be an alcoholic, until I went on the welfare...............BOOM!

Cured, just like that.

There is something naturally euphoric about sitting on your ass while someone else picks up the bill.

 

 

I never knew you were a drunk till I seen you sober..lol.

Sad thing is ...is that the  kids prolly pay the price for their parents using drugs.

now if you bust the parents and take away the welfare what happens to those said kids I ask?

Probably????

Show me an abused child and ill show you a kid with a parent with a substance abuse  problem.

It goes hand in hand.

They love to say use the numbers comparing the number of people on welfare to the number of people who tested positive.  Yet most of the articles purposely leave out the number of recipients who were actually tested.

Here is an example:

"Thirty-seven of 16,017 applicants for the Families First cash assistance program between July and December tested positive for illegal substances, according to the Department of Human Services.

Another 81 lost their chance to receive benefits because they discontinued the application process at some point between the time they were required to fill out a three-item drug screening questionnaire and completing their application."

NEWSFLASH, they didn't test 16,000 applicants. 37 tested positive and another 81 didn't show up.  Where did they list the total number tested?

I want to take up some band width to say something I feel strongly about.

I think we all love our country.

I think we all want the best for everybody.

That said there seems to be two main ways to get there..

the old fashioned way...the right side.

And the new fashion way ..the left.

That has divided the country so much that not much can get done to solve anything.

We need to come together somehow so we can get chit done.

Or are there no answers?

Fact of the matter is you need to look at total #'s of recipients before and after the law was implemented to see if it has had an impact on the total # of people collecting.

The ones taking the test will be drug free or else they are total morons.

Common sense prevails,  Unless you are snowbeavis.

You're hopeless charlie brown.  Completely hopeless.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND:

Many of the news articles that have been written about welfare drug testing have cited extremely low rates of positive test results as evidence showing the ineffectiveness of drug testing programs. However, those articles typically arrived at their figures by counting all of the individuals who went through the paper screening process rather than the number who actually took drug tests. If we look at the number of positive test results as a percentage of people who actually take drug tests, the percentage of positive tests results increases substantially.

:nuts: 

2012, an evaluation of the program had startling results: After three years and 87,000 screenings, only one person had failed the drug test, with huge costs for the state, which saved a few hundred dollars by denying benefits, compared to the hundreds of thousands spent to conduct the tests.

 
1 in 87,000 SCREENINGS..... :lol:
