Welcome to Massachusetts.  Please don't kill us.

To the surprise of virtually nobody in the Bay State, the Boston Herald reports that "Tsarnaev family received $100G in benefits"
The Tsarnaev family, including the suspected terrorists and their parents, benefited from more than $100,000 in taxpayer-funded assistance — a bonanza ranging from cash and food stamps to Section 8 housing from 2002 to 2012, the Herald has learned.
“The breadth of the benefits the family was receiving was stunning,” said a person with knowledge of documents handed over to a legislative committee today.
Of course, we shouldn't let this information enter the debate on either immigration reform or welfare policy because we just can't.  Just keep feeding that crocodile and hope for the best.

Holy crudballs, that bonanza was over $9,000 a year. Woo, woo! How can I hop on the runaway gravy train?

I think we all agree with "a person." And that's why I emphatically support stripping ALL public benefits from all those who eventually go on to set off bombs a decade later. Let's make that a law.

Yeah, and the one brother subsidized this with education grants and pot sales. What a country!

Now the rumor is he's angling for life imprisonment which means three hots and a cot. Nice.

That means we must eliminate the Dept. of Education and the Dept. of Agriculture. If only we had done so in January 2002.

I never give credence to rumors until I hear what "a person" has to say.
