Flordia's drug testing of welfare recipiants showing progress.

How many people did not test positive because they used one of the many ways to easily cheat a drug test? A nasal spray bottle full of clean urine has worked for me plenty of times, or if the person wants something more fool-proof they can buy Quick Fix for twenty-five bucks. Urine testing is simply not viable, and the reason that 2 out of 40 people got caught is because those 2 out of 40 people were too stupid to cheat the test, which is incredibly easy. I knew this was going to happen before this law was even passed.
 
Welfare recipients tend not to be the sharpest tools in the shed. Your argument would have more merit if it were drug testing for government white-collar jobs... well, a little more.
 
I wonder how many of those people who tested clean on their drug tests just didn't smoke crack for a couple days, took the test, then went and bought some more crack on the tax payer dime
 
The serious crackheaRAB probably can't because they need their crack all day every day or else they do whatever they can to get the money for it. It's a sad, pathetic cycle, whether with crack, meth, or heroin. You get money, do the drug, do whatever you can to get more money, do more of the drug, and repeat the process multiple times a day every day.
 
True, but it's funny how often Liberals end up "factoring in" things that DIDN'T HAPPEN when it comes to things like murders when THEY are pushing things like gun bans, etc.
 
"not really"

"that much"

Looks like quite a savings to me. I'm guessing you've never run a business where you take small nurabers and apply them to scale? It's amazing how sourcing a screw that's $1.02 instead of $1.33 can save a million dollars over time.
 
don't blame me for the small sample size, this "data" is coming from the ACLU.

What's wrong with looking at nurabers of applicants in previous months vs. current months? Or August 2010 nurabers vs. August 2011? You don't have to get the nurabers exact to the person, but it would be interesting to see if there is any kind of decline in the welfare requests. our govt. does the same thing releasing jobs reports and unemployment data all the time.
 
I'm jot blaming you, I'm pointing out that one neeRAB data from a longer period. One can certainly compare the nurabers from this month with the same month from a previous year, or even previous months from the same year. The problem with comparing one month alone, any way that you compare it, is that you cannot account for monthly variance. What this time last year had the fewest applicants for that year? What if the most? What if June is typically heavier or lighter, by numnber of applicants, and you compare it to august?
