[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 872521, member: 2189"] It was bad reporting or bad wording. 3 days ago I posted [URL="http://www2.tbo.com/news/politics/2011/aug/24/3/welfare-drug-testing-yields-2-percent-positive-res-ar-252458/"][COLOR=#ff0000]this link[/COLOR][/URL] in the Welfare thread to a Tampa Bay Online story about this same drug testing program for cash assistance welfare. Here is how they worded the meat and potatoes part. I think this story worded it better so you could understand that the entire cash assistance program costed $178 mil and then what the drug testing savings would be. Having read this previous story and then read the piece Sleeve linked too, I understood the gist but I can see where it would be easy to confuse it as well, especially being half asleep. :wink2: Sleeve, Here is what I said in my post on the Welfare thread [URL="http://www.browncafe.com/forum/f13/welfare-338355/#post871346"][COLOR=#ff0000](#55)[/COLOR][/URL] that you might appreciate in light of the comments above. I think you'd get some real savings there! :happy-very: [/QUOTE]
