I took a pic with my friend's phone. I'll have to put it up when she sends it to me.
But my crummy armpit of a city is now advertising 3 things that piss me off.
"Welfare is for YOU TOO" and how to sign up for it via the web if you make less than X
"WIC helps you help your family" complete with a person driving a mercedes with her kid in the back seat.
"It's ok to love *city name*" Well of course it is. When you have 10k to spend on a monthly billboard, every city is grand.
Don't get me wrong, I believe in all these sevices and their importance. But I just don't feel my tax dollars should be poured into their marketing you know? I mean, pamphlets at your doctors office, or assistance brochures have done fine in the past. Why market them?

When I was stationed at Davis Monthan in Tucson, I desperately need help financially. I was single at the time with one child. I tried to get a child-care subsidy, but since on paper, I made $40 phucking dollars too much a month, no dice! No sliding scale for me, no reduced amount in how much they could help me out a week, just...NO!!! Of course, the child care center on base had a waiting list out the wazoo. So, I started sneaking out of town to shake my thang, while I was still wearing BDUs!
