re: #162 The Ghost of a Flea

Money quote:

And recall that Gov Skeletor—actually, now his wife—owns one of the major firms that does that testing.

After the most recent CPAC, I’m even more convinced that modern conservatism is about grifters factory-farming rubes. Intellectually boxed-in and subsisting on a diet of outrage and schadenfreude, wingnuts are the Kobe beef of gullible marks.

Good lord.

Am I reading this correctly? $40,000?

The average welfare payment in Florida (last year’s numbers) was about $250 per month.

$40,000 divided by $250 = 160

If that’s a three-month period, then Florida spent $245,000 to get back welfare benefits from 53 cheaters.

Bravo. Fucking bravo.
