Democrat and Republican liberals alike often excoriate those who think that welfare programs should not be parceled out indiscriminately, but should require something from the recipients. Back when Bill Clinton was fighting impeachment, he actually signed on to a welfare for work program, and amazingly, the welfare roles shrank!
It turns out that if people can get stuff for free, without having to do anything for it, they will. That should not be a surprise. The other thing liberals will have us believe is that welfare recipients have no responsibility for their situation. While that is certainly true in some cases, there are many more that result from poor decisions and behavior.
Starting late last year, North Carolina began requiring drug testing of new applicants for a state welfare program. A number of politicians decried the requirement as unfair, saying that it was too costly, and that it was onerous to those who would be required to take the test. The test was not universal and applied only to one program, but the results were quite surprising.
See test results on page 2:
Yes the r sulks were skewed. They can only use the figures they test d to get the percentage…..they test d 89 people…..21 tested positive……THAT IS ALMOST 24 percent positive.
David Peebles Where did you get that idea? If you start with 7,600 that is your test group plain and simple. I’m not against the testing, but the state should test everyone. Florida tried this a few years ago and it was thrown out in the Federal courts because it discriminates.
Do the math ..they only tested 89….out of those 21 tested positive……that is almost 24 percent. You can not use the 7600 number In your percentage if they were not tested.
Robin Kaser The tested the group of 7,600 first by seeing which had drug tracks and eyeball sunk back in their head. Then they took that group and tested them. For a close to true result the 189 selected would have to be chosen by some random method, not screening.
Do the math of the 89 tested…21 failed the test……that is almost 24 percent. They must be using common core math to get 1.2 percent.
Robin Kaser The first test was the “screening” of the test group of 7,600. What you wanted to hear was out of a group of 10,000 welfare recipients, 2,400 would be on drugs, but you would be wrong. The solution and correct way to check was test ALL welfare recipients. And that is what the Federal courts told Florida a couple of years ago.
Many will still know the way to his the fact
