Michigan's Welfare Drug Testing Yields Zero Positives
Well color me surprised! Once again, a terrible Republican plan by Michigan's GOP Governor has failed to achieve its goal; which is to catch those drug-abusing welfare cheats and expose the fraud of the whole 'entitlement' concept. Except, not one of the 303 recipients whom they tested, turned up positive. Not one.
Governor Snyder signed the unfair, wasteful bill at the end of 2014, and the year-long, anti-poverty experiment is set to expire this September. There has yet to be any financial savings to any state based on these findings. It's widely known that these tests only cost the state money, not the opposite.
This discrimination has come under fire especially when a bill has been proposed by a Democrat which challenges the idea of testing only the poorest among us. Shouldn't those receiving far more money in tax credits be subject to the same scrutiny,? Shouldn't the wealthy face the consequence of losing those deductions? It's hard to argue with that logic.
