Bumper64 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 MASS Exodus Out Of Florida!!!Only 49 more states to go!Hooray for Florida !I-95 and I-75 will be jammed for the next month or so with druggies and deadbeats heading North out of Florida, because this is the first state in the union to require drug testing to receive welfare!Hooray for Florida ! In signing the new law, Republican Gov. Rick Scott said, "If Floridians want welfare, they better make sure they are drug-free."Applicants must pay for the drug test, but are reimbursed if they test drug-free. Applicants who test positive for illicit substances, won't be eligible for the funds for a year, or until they undergo treatment. Those who fail a second time will be banned from receiving funds for three years!Naturally, a few people are crying this is unconstitutional.How is this unconstitutional?It's a legal requirement that every person applying for a job has to pass drug tests in order to get the job, why not those who receive welfare?Forward this if you agree!Let's get welfare back to the ones who need it, not to those who won't get a job.Will Texas be next? NOTE: I saw this on FB and I am not sure if it is 100% accurate or not, but I like the concept!! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I heard and it was 2011 was that the drug testing for welfare benefits was stopped at the court lvl for 2 reasons.: 1. it infringed on the 4th ammendmant rights of the people involved since there was no valid reason. 2. The actual tests done proved that they were on a fishing expedition and an expensive one when only 2% of all people tested were positive out of 7000 people that did the test. This is the latest on that front State loses another round on welfare drug testsSo In layman term its all bunk.

Its been said that it has ended up doing nothing but costing the state money from reimbursing those who did not test positive. On a side note there are no jobs here so... you could still see a mass exodus Edited April 18, 2013 by Ms.Bean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
