the testing has cost $176 million, far outstripping the $60,000 in "savings." So Florida spends 3 million a year on welfare? Somehow I don't think that's right. If ten percent of Floridans are on welfare, that's 1.7 million floridans. If they receive a stipend of 20k a year, that would mean 34 billion dollars a year that Florida spends on welfare. 2 percent of that is 680 million dollars.

So Florida spent 176 million to save 680 million a year.

Edit, Florida spends 11.4 billion a year on welfare. Cutting 2 percent off that number is 228 million. So the state actually still comes out ahead.
