Texas learns (?) from Floriduh...

[Archae]

Learns how to waste money, that is, chasing welfare applicants.


On Wednesday, the Texas State legislature, currently composed of 19 Republicans and 12 Democrats, unanimously passed Senate Bill 11, which mandates that every Texan applying for food assistance through the TANF (Texas Assistance for Needy Families) program, submit to an undefined "screening process" and possible drug test before receiving benefits if the screener finds "good cause" to even suspect that person is... or is likely to... abuse any "controlled substance" -- despite the fact that there is no evidence at all that people seeking assistance are more likely to do drugs.

Find out who does the tests, and it will explain a great deal.

3. Welfare, unemployment, PUBLIC SERVICE workers

they all must be on drugs according to the Space Alien Governor of Florida. Well, I suppose if you sell your drug testing corporation to your wife, you might have a personal interest in drug testing.

One a fraud, always a fraud. BTW, less than 1% of Florida's welfare recipients tested positive to drugs, all at the expense to taxpayers.
