Hate to burst your balloon, but here are the researched facts on welfare in the USA.

Of course, you can just dismiss all of this actual researched information, because Ronald Reagan didn't say it. He just coined the phrase "Welfare Queens" and then proceeded to raise taxes seven times in his eight years in office.

BTW, Cicero had lot's to say... including this.

"It is a true saying that "One falsehood leads easily to another". "

With this post one wonders where Rusty is now, although I am not suprised by the silence.

I am a bit mystified how homelessness and Reagan raising taxes is germane to this class action suit discussion, but in addition to having stayed in more than several Holiday Inns I do occasionally read an article or two in The New American. Not that those tidbits are anymore germane.

Oops! More politics, I can feel another pending admonishment from our unofficial political proctor Rusty.
