It's a failure, face it, sorry that everyone receiving assistance wasn't on drugs, this dumb myth Reagan conjured up with his "welfare queen" images to stick in the mind of middle/lower classes to deflect their income issues on why the wealthiest get cut after cut.
In the real world, if you refuse to take a drug test it is considered positive- at least the rules I have to play by. And can you give me a reason a person would cut off thier own "cash cow" other than knowing you can't pass this test? The story mentions a 25-35 dollar cost for the test, why stop welfare or food stamps for such a small amount?
