update: rick scott039s drug testing poor people law
Bookmarked 725 weeks ago welfare and drug testingsignalling as policysep 2nd 2011 by jf atlantaearlier this summer i wrote about florida039s plan to start drug testing welfare recipients the rationale provided by rick scott florida039s governor was simple: the state should not have to subsidise drug use nothing wrong with that right i mean does anyone want to argue that the state should subsidise illegal-drug use leaving aside of course the inanity of america039s drug policy the questionable consitutionality of mr scott039s plan and the range of privacy issues opened up by suspicionless drug-testing i thought not mr scott also promised the plan would save the state money since anyone who failed the test would be kicked off the welfare rolls for a year the rationale behind that reasoning was unspoken and much nastier: people on welfare use drugs after all if mr scott really did not want to give florida039s money to people who used drugs then surely everyone who received state funds including private-sector workers who get state contracts should have been tested right important to note here that mr scott has already proposed drug-testing state employees quarterly at the state039s expense i wrote it then and i039ll say it again: if he really is a fan of limited government he has a funny way of showing it but florida has a 36 billion shortfall in this year039s budget and if kicking junkies off the welfare rolls would save some cash well i guess if the belt fits then tighten it or somethingso how are those projected savings coming badly it turns out since testing began in mid-july just two percent of welfare applicants have tested positive by way of comparison the 2009 national survey on drug use and health put the rate of illicit-drug use among the general public at 87 another two percent are not completing welfare applications putting the pass rate at 96 the state expects between 1000 and 1500 people to take the test each month at a cost of 30 per testa cost borne by the state for applicants who pass at the current rate of failure the state will save a grand total of 40800 to 98400 out of a welfare program that will cost an estimated 178m this year and it may in fact turn out to be less than that: if applicants who fail one drug test successfully complete a drug-treatment program they can reapply for benefitsnow of course nobody knows how many people decided not to apply for benefit because of the drug tests and it still is less than two months into the program perhaps the junkies come out in autumn perhaps they have moved to other states perhaps there was some massive liberaltarian urine-switching scam designed to trick florida into paying for poor people039s drug habits whatever the reason the promised savings have not appeared but perhaps saving money was never really the point of the program recall rick perry039s stammering defence of abstinence as the best way to reduce teen pregnancies even after empirical evidence showed that it was not in fact particularly good at reducing teen pregnancies in that case it039s hard to argue with paul waldman039s conclusion that mr perry039s preference for abstinence was about signalling more than results teenagers should not be having sex and if those who do get pregnant or get diseases well serves them right that039s their punishment similarly perhaps the point of the drug-testing program was for florida039s government to signal its disapproval of poor people using drugs and if it took a massive government intrusion into people039s lives establishing a precedent for suspicionless drug testing on an entire class of people and paying to defend themselves against lawsuits filed by civil-liberties groups to do that so be ithttp:wwweconomistcomblogsdemocracyinamerica201109welfare-and-drug-testingpage=2non-profit activism no copyright infringement intended |
