Apparently there is a push in Congress to drug-test the unemployed. While I get the concept and why it's attractive to a certain mindset, I don't see the connection to reality.

The biggest druggies I have ever known were all well-employed and swimming in disposable income. This makes sense. Drugs cost money. They are a luxury item.

Moreover, a smaller-scale version of this law, which was passed in Florida, yielded a 2% positive drug test result in welfare recipients. This makes sense. Drugs cost money. They are a luxury item.

Thoughts?
