How many people would stop getting welfare if they had to do drug tests?
Assuming everyone came out clean, $10 trillion is spent each year on welfare programs for 1.1 million families (assume 5 million people) which would add about 0.5% to the total cost of the program using your expensive test numbers.
okay, you going to have to back up that 10 trillion number there....
I just did a Google search, that was the number mentioned in a bunch of different hits. Maybe it's wrong, maybe it's right, but is sure seems in the ballpark.
