Thanks for posting this. I’ve always questioned the original “welfare queen” story, but this provides some period skepticism.

Just the news item I was looking for for my son’s research paper on the history of US politics.  Do you have any other clippings on controversies related to former President Reagan?

Saved me the time to go to the library and search for this news article smile I do hope there are more web sites out there that have archived pass news clippings as well.

I heard recently about a similar “welfare queen” in Germany. Interessting that this one got resolved through the president.
