This is the one about a new welfare system.

I was reading a local rag called The Chandler Times, and came across this gem that was sent in by a reader (emphasis is mine):

…I ended up working four jobs, got in a bad car accident where the kids ended up in the hospital and so did I. I didn’t care if [my ex-husband] didn’t come see me. He wouldn’t even come see his kids. I barely got on welfare just because my youngest one looked like she was Mexican. That’s how I qualified, because I’m White.

Seriously? You got welfare because of how your daughter looked? And White people are excluded from government assistance, really?

Read the entire letter here. It’s the 5th entry on that page.  Remind me again why I moved here?!?
