Tea Party Gov Scott - MORE bureaucracy, trash Contstitution, picks winners & losers
New Florida Law Requires Drug Testing for Welfare Recipients
This law creates MORE bureaucracy, trashes the Constitution rights of people with little or no voice in government, is vile and ignorant stereotyping of all welfare recipients and government infiltration into private lives.
BUT, these are the Tea Partiers, the people who 'claim' to support less government, strict adherence to the Constitution and free market economics...
Florida taxpayers should be highly suspicious that this whole drug test law is designed to funnel taxpayer's money into Scott's pocket, the pockets of his wife and the pockets of his political backers. This IS a man who was forced to resign as the head of a company that pled guilty to massive amounts of systematic fraud, including 14 felonies, leading to a historic $1.7 billion fine.
But, tea partiers are too smart for that, right?
But, of course, THIS is DIFFERENT; you are just concerned about taxpayer's money, that is ALL you are in it for, right? Even if it ends up costing more than it saves. Other states have tried this and found that it was costly and worthless in reducing drug use. They found that welfare recipients are NO MORE likely to use drugs than the rest of the population. They found that a simple questionnaire could detect most drug users.
AND, of course you are for less government, even if THIS law creates MORE government.
And there is always conservative's concern that bureaucrats are given the ability to make decisions that affect people's lives. But THIS is DIFFERENT. These bureaucrats are of impeccable character.
And we don't trust scientists to tell us what is happening to our planet, but THIS is DIFFERENT. These tests are 100% reliable, and the company administering these tests is 100% reliable, and of COURSE, the people deciding what do do with these results are beyond reproach...they are GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRATS.

And Tea Party Scott is not done...
Bureaucrats to Tell Employees Which HMO to Use
Florida Governor Scott Reduces Choice and Competition in Health Care
So much for choice and competition, which opponents of the Democrats' vision of reform, including Scott, claimed would vanish if "Obamacare" were enacted. It seems as if one of the leaders of the anti-reform crowd wasn't a true believer in the value of choice and competition after all.
It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own.
Thomas Jefferson
All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression.
