Mandatory drug testing for welfare recipients

[jon_berzerk]

The problem is that the cost of the drug testing will far exceed the money saved. Has to be a better way.

i am not convinced of that

i have had to have folks tested for certain contracts

and it usually runs about 80 dollars

the state certainly doesnt think so

since not all people will be tested

it may cost more for the handful of cases

where a guardian ad litem has to be appointed

however in the mean time the children

will get the benefits the people of the state want them to have

Multiply 80 dollars times the number of welfare recipients.

Now subtract the number of welfare recipients actually doing drugs.

Does the benefit outweigh the cost?

I'd google it but I have to go to bed. I'll check it out tomorrow.

not all welfare recipients will get tested

only a handful will get tested

yes later
