Star Tribune staff writer Chris Serres' analysis of the costs of drug-testing for some welfare recipients, published in the Sunday edition, attracted a great deal attention, much of it positive.
Not so in the Facebook province of Drazistan.
On his Facebook page, Representative Steve Drazkowski (R-Mazeppa) blamed the liberal media for the attention to the program, established after The Draz successful attached an amendment to the omnibus health and human services bill. Drazkowski posted the following observation, along with a link to the article:
The spin placed upon this law by the government and compliant liberal media is astonishing. They didn't mention the abuse of the taxpayers' generosity by drug abusers, they didn't mention the young kids whose aid is intercepted by drug addicted adults and used for buying drugs, leaving the kids without food - and they are doing all they can to make it appear as if this is a money-losing proposition. The desire to make everyone dependent upon the government is clouding their original perception of right and wrong. Thankfully, the people of Minnesota understand - we need hard-working Minnesotans from every corner to stand up to the government-media complex and repudiate their agenda.
