Return Of The 'Welfare Queen'

(CNN) -- She's out there, lurking in the 2012 presidential race like a horror movie villain who refuses to die.
She has 12 Social Security cards, mooches on benefits from four fake dead husbands, and collects food stamps while driving a Cadillac. She rakes in about $150,000 a year in welfare benefits and, of course, people assume she must be African-American.
President Ronald Reagan gave America a sunny "Morning in America" optimism, but he also gave it the "Welfare Queen," an infamous character who has re-emerged in this year's presidential race.

If "welfare queens" are a myth then why is it that the girls with EBT cards in their wallets right next to the Medicaid cards always have Coach or Gucci purses and expensive cell phones? They don't drive shabby cars either.

@ 3:50 You forgot their leather jackets and their hair & nails all done up, along with a cart full of groceries that you or I would never buy because it's too damn expensive or just a waste of money on junk food. It's disgusting.
