If (and that's a big if) .5% of 10k people fail, that's 50 people, that's $5000 in tests, that's $300,000 in welfare.

Youve spent $1,005,000 (per 10k people, per year) to save $300,000 in welfare checks with a net loss of $705,000 because you think you have some moral superiority and don't think people should be smoking weed while on welfare. Still seem like a good investment to you?
1. I never said anything about 100% testing every month.
2. $100 per test couldnt be any more far fetched. Cups, about $3.00 each. Admin costs, very low as no special training is required. Disposal fees are VERY low as no special disposal is required unless a medical condition leads to noticeable blood in urine. Additional lab testing for the positive tests at $150 each is maybe another 40k?
3. My moral, and mental, superiority has nothing to do with it. The laws of the state says they shouldnt smoke weed, not only when they are on welfare, but ever.
