"The most colossal failure of this policy was in Arizona, which passed a drug-testing law in 2009. In 2012, an evaluation of the program had startling results: After three years and 87,000 screenings, only one person had failed the drug test, with huge costs for the state, which saved a few hundred dollars by denying benefits, compared to the hundreds of thousands spent to conduct the tests." Worse still is the fact that some lobbyist is pushing for this to become the norm, not just in America but here in Australia too. Upon reading this article, it seems like whoever owns the system of detection is simply seeking the government cheese to conduct/provide the kits required to perform the task. Propaganda at work, making sure there is yet another reason for a corporate entity to walk away with taxpayer dollars.
