First there was Georgia, now there’s Willard supporting Georgia, by saying he thinks drug testing welfare recipients is “a great”, no, even better, “an excellent idea.”
Civil rights advocates, meanwhile, have been quick to challenge the constitutionality of drug testing bills that were passed last year, and courts blocked similar bills from being implemented in Florida and Michigan.
Civil rights aside for just a moment, not only is the number of people who use drugs and who also benefit from government assistance extremely low, it’s not exactly cost effective either. So, the “They’re all addicts!” talking point has been debunked, and the program is costly.
And Wise Man Willard thinks this is a “great” idea. Of course, he thinks outsourcing is too, along with “personhood,” corporate personhood, marriage inequality, and abusing his dog.
