TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Unemployment could become even more humiliating if one Florida lawmaker has his way.

Sen. Mike Bennett wants the unemployed to pee in a cup in order to collect benefits.

Senator Mike Bennett, a Republican from Sarasota, is sponsoring a bill that would randomly subject unemployed Floridians to drug tests in order for them to collect unemployment benefits.

If the test is failed, the already unlucky jobless would lose their unemployment benefits for a year.

And who would pay for the tests? According to Bennet’s plan, the cost of each drug test would come out of individual benefits.

Aren’t Republicans like Bennett always harping on getting “government out of peoples’ lives?”

Apparently, that doesn’t apply if you’ve had the misfortune of being laid off.
