Stephan:   One of the nastier policies of the Right, part of their trend attempting to make the lives of the poor more miserable, was the mad scheme about drug testing welfare recipients. I think they thought it would push many poor off the rolls, because they believed their own fantasies about the poor as all being drug addicts and layabouts. It was mean spirited and, as this report makes clear, ill advised at every level. Note, however, that facts appear to have no impact on the Republicans of Georgia. I suppose we shouldn't be surprised. Any state that would elect Paul 'lies from the pit of hell' Broun is capable of almost any fact free folly.
