    But wasn`t Trump a Democrat for many years before he became a Republican? It shouldn`t be about the party once you are elected President. The Republican Party really didn`t want Trump as their candidate anyway. He pretty much forced their hand. He needs to work for the people that elected him, Republican, Democrat, or Independent (or Russian, lol).

    I actually do not have a big issue with testing but I did check this. The percentage in other states have been low too.

    https://mic.com/articles/122607/ariz...lts#.5bnZMDSNS

    https://wearechange.org/arizona-spen...ch-one-person/

    Somewhat conflicting information. The Mic article states in a clarification that "it is unclear whether all 87,000" were subject to drug screening. Also, there seems to be some confusion about the 1.7 million cost, as one has it as the cost of the testing, and one has it as an estimate of how much would be saved. The estimate of 3.6 mil comes from an assumption that the tests cost $41 (unconfirmed), and that all 87,000 people were tested (unknown, and reading between the lines of the Mic article update, not likely).

    The Mic article also notes that a few more people had since tested positive, and there were ~20 ish people that were dropped because they did not submit to testing.

    I`m sure there are other stories that would provide more context, but figured I would share.

    No slant either way on my end, just providing context for Bunky`s post and your ask for a source.

    Here is snopes analysis. The conclusion I see is there is not widespread use of drugs and the cost for the program is not compensating for the savings.

    Should We Drug Test Welfare Recipients?

    Yeah my first question is what is the testing schedule/procedure. The NFL has recreational drug testing but its once a year and during a set period may june july but they almost always do it right at the beginning of training camp when all the players are easy to find. If its that type joke testing then its meaningless.

    So Arizona only test if you send back a questionnaire saying yes i love drugs and want to do them all the time. With that system I am amazed they have not caught anyone.

    Edit: got chance to read more of Bunky link and it seems that almost all states doing any testing its after you raise a red flag in a questionnaire screening.

    I wish the IRS did this I could pay no taxes for the rest my life. Agent, Mr. Sullivan did you make any money this year. Me, no sir not one single dime. Agent, well if you say so it must be true, nothing more for me to do here. BYE BYE.

    So what does get you tested admitting that you got arrested for drug possession?????????????????????????????

    The VA drug tests all Veterans that are prescribed pain killers. They were testing me 4 times a year and I finally asked if they did this to everyone and the lady said "yep, I`ve got an 86 year old Vet that has to be tested". If a Vet gets caught using marijuana they kick him out of the pain management program. I always laugh at them and say "y`all give me all the drugs I need". I used to get tested every 6 months while I was in the Army, it got so bad I couldn`t pee by myself anymore. Lol.
