There's a new email going around that claims that eleven states now have more people on "welfare" (that vague notion of welfare which pervades the wingers' meager brains, anyway) than working. The email goes on to state that all eleven are "straight Democratic states" which surprises me because three of the states (SC, AL, MS) are the blood-reddest of them all.
Rated false, of course.
