Do you actually know some woman who does this or did you hear about this second, third, fourth, or fifth hand. Or maybe you just made this up.

My point is we are perpetuating this Ronald Reagen myth about the welfare queen living in luxury. RW organizations should put up some money to do an honest study to track how welfare recipients spend their largesse instead of having to make up stuff. They could then at least cite some studies about welfare abuse and then lobby to end the waste.

Otherwise, I am suspicious of all this anti welfare stuff.
