I have to disagree with you on this. This, in its many manifestations around the country, is just a resurrection of the old "welfare queen" canard that was advanced in the 80's.

Good thoughts,

Bob, I knew you were a top-shelf mentalist, but quit showing off!

That's what happens when I post from my phone. But it was a really long line at Best Buy.

Disagree . . . we can deconstruct the words like lawyers, but that is not the right tool here. The intent, like our collective interest in magic, is to plant false memories and images: this is hypnosis to plant the false image that welfare user=wanton flagrant money abuser. It provides excellent misdirection and cover for the military and corporate thieves hiding in plain sight.
