Waste of money for a problem that truly didn't exist --- is the real-world outcome. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 7, 07:51
terrible idea, huge waste of money. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 07:50
Just an awful idea. It doesn't work and ends up costing the state money. Terrible decision. -- nm - Krusty Nov 7, 07:49 7
- I am more commending the fact that at least they are trying something -- nm - Capstern Nov 7, 07:50 6
  - Then try job training and apprenticeships programs. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 07:53
  - Why? It doesn't work. It will be a waste of money and resources better spent elsewhere. -- nm - Krusty Nov 7, 07:51
  - but if trying just ends up costing tax payers way more money, how does that help? -- nm - Moneypandie Nov 7, 07:51
  - but why do they need to try anything? -- nm - znufrii Nov 7, 07:50 2
    - because so many welfare queens are obviously all drunks and addicted to crack or else they wouldn't be on welfare. -- nm - Deev Another Day Nov 7, 07:54 1
      - they pop out kids just to get more welfare, too. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 07:55
I think Florida did a study on it and it was so cost prohibitive it was insane - Pippygalore Nov 7, 07:47 12
- No, they actually passed the law. -- (link) - mara Nov 7, 07:51 2
  - interesting - seems the ACLU is going to file a lawsuit in every state that votes it in -- nm - Pippygalore Nov 7, 07:55
  - and guess who owns the drug testing company? -- nm - Reagen Nov 7, 07:55
- It only catches pot heads since most other drugs are out of your system rather quickly. It also ignores people that have an alcohol problem. - Krusty Nov 7, 07:50 5
  - Oklahoma has a huge - HUGE meth problem - I'm not sure if that is what they are aiming for - Pippygalore Nov 7, 07:52 3
    - Interesting... -- nm - Walter White Nov 7, 07:57
    - Meth is out of your system in 1-5 days. They won't catch them unless they used very recently. - Krusty Nov 7, 07:54 1
      - I don't think there is a test out there that someone hasn't figured out how to beat -- nm - Pippygalore Nov 7, 07:57
  - yeah, pretty much -- nm - decline Nov 7, 07:50
- Like that really matters to people? -- nm - Bacon Nov 7, 07:49
- Well still I like to see people try :) -- nm - Capstern Nov 7, 07:49
- Right. One thing about drugs: they're expensive. -- nm - Reagen Nov 7, 07:48
