Anonymous commentary from a patrick.net reader:

[Somalia is] so perfect for the Baggers -- they are anti-government; there is NONE -- thus, no taxes -- strict adherence to the Right to Bear Arms; everyone has RPGs and automatic rifles and grenades, so this must mean they have low crime (Warlords just defend their property rights by kidnapping foreigners and holding them for ransom, same with the pirates) -- no socialist Medical Care -- no need to waste time with legal "technicalities" perpetrated by the ACLU and evil Jewish lawyers; just shoot first and ask questions later. After all, every trailer trash hillbilly is expert in constitutional legal interpretation -- apparently you can throw waste food products into the harbor, so no problem with dumping tea to protest tax duties, and no "socialistic" environmental regulations either!!! -- also, no homosexuals at nudist beaches, because the Islamics drive them into the surf where the tiger sharks devour them, so this is a plus also.

I guess the only bad thing is there might be a lot of black people and maybe even some Kenyans not born in the US ;-) This is not just a "problem" in Hawaii, I'll have you know!!!! =-O But otherwise, it seems quite paradisaical for Baggers.

He seems to be right:

Lifetime cap on welfare is still 5 years

That doesn’t include state and local welfare payments which can extend well beyond the 5 year federal limit.. which I’ll bet has loopholes.

This is from 2002 but the site has a link to current stats though not as detailed.

http://www.mdrc.org/publications/51/overview.html

States have broad flexibility in designing time-limit policies, in large part because the federal time limit does not apply to state-funded benefits. Currently, 40 states have time limits that can result in the termination of families’ welfare benefits; 17 of those states have limits of fewer than 60 months. However, nearly half the national welfare caseload is in states that either have no time limit (2 states) or a time limit that reduces or modifies benefits when the limit is reached (8 states and the District of Columbia).
