Not with my money

Everybody knows that one of republicans (and not just their leaders, but their faithful voters as well) favorite "causes" is getting rid of all those crackheads who are getting welfare benefits.

A funny thing happened on the way to peeing in a cup:

• Before their drug testing of welfare recipients was stopped by the courts (that pesky 4th Amendment!), the state of Florida tested 51,000 people, and a whopping twenty-one tested positive.  Not 21,000.  Not 2100.  Twenty-fucking-one.  And the cost to Florida taxpayers, even after the twenty-fucking-one people's benefits were taken away?  They're $46,000 in the hole.
• The state of Arizona tested 87,000 of its welfare recipients, and one--that's right, the loneliest number--tested positive.  No figures on the cost to taxpayers but you can pretty much assume that this one is a money losing proposition as well.

After the financial boondoggles of the Afghanistan War, Iraq War, Medicare Part B, and so many, many others, there is no way republicans should be let anywhere near our money.  They'll just waste it...like some crackhead.
