[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1621748, member: 4319"] Again, by that logic we should just not give welfare to anyone. Resposible, motivated people with good decision making skills aren't on fawking welfare in the first place. By design, welfare is for people who screw up and can't get their shitt together for whatever reason. Sure. [I][B]DCF said it has been referring applicants to clinics where drug screenings cost between $30 and $35. The applicant pays for the test out of his or her own pocket and then the state reimburses him if they test comes back negative. Therefore, the 38 applicants in the Central Florida area, who tested negative, were reimbursed at least $30 each and cost taxpayers $1,140. Meanwhile, the state is saving less than $240 a month by refusing benefits to those two applicants who tested positive.[/B][/I] It damn sure isn't ever going to "save a ton of money". It may not cost a ton, but it's not going to save anything.
