required to take an annual physical exam, and have their funds reduced if they are obese, with allowances for children.
Lefties under the dear leader wanted to do this with o-blunder care for the masses using BMI as a guide. It would have been for folks who paid for their insurance though, not the freeloaders.

Y'all got the answer this time. What are y'all estimating the average individual will see their taxes cut by? What is everyone going to spend their tax refunds on? I can't wait to see what deserving politically connected company gets the contract to handle the testing.
You should be pissed off that your job test you. It's an invasion of privacy. If they wanted to come to your house and go through your stuff you'd tell em to get fricked. Why is the contents of your bladder any different?
If you aren't showing signs of impairment at work you shouldn't be tested.

I'm glad to see you're a proponent for cutting all welfare programs.

Why don't you extoll the virtues of voting felons next?

As long as drug testing is accepted in the private market, so should it be in the government market.

I'm drug tested for my paycheck, what makes these people so special that they shouldn't get tested for theirs?

like it but what’s the cost to the state to test all these peoples?
Not near as much as the savings that will occur. And once you go through the first wave and kick people off of food stamps for 12 months or until they're clean...things will get a little cheaper by the second wave and third wave when it balances out.

Something's wrong with pot when you're on food stamps. I don't care if you smoke all day as long as it's not on my tax dollars. If you an afford to smoke, you can afford to buy food.

Im sure it’s already been mentioned 3 pages in, but isn’t the cost of testing more than the cost of paying out the welfare itself? Believe I read somewhere that it does but it could’ve been a biased site.
Common sense yells you, no.

If this plan costs more than it saves it reeks of crony capitalism from Walker.
I'd honestly like to see the estimates.

Exactly, working man should not be tested. If you're to lazy to work and pay for your own food and drugs then you should be tested. Currently we test the working man and then fire him if he fails which makes him join the freeloaders.
The problem is not about drugs, it's about lazy people to me. There was a time in my life when I had food stamps briefly...I was also raising a daughter and going to school full time, didn't have insurance on myself and didn't want it. Now I'm graduated and have been working for years...one year alone in taxes paid back all I ever received....I am one case of what the system was truly designed for. Why not make it a requirement that people prove they are looking for work or bettering their lives in one way shape or form deemed acceptable.
