Do you REALLY wanna see your tax dollars at work?
Used to work for the State Of Pennsylvania. What a trip.
The application for energy assistance one year had questions 1-6 and 8-15. I, and no doubt others, who 'raged against the dying of the light' pointed it out.
The following year, the application HAD enough questions. Question 7, mind you, 7, was 'do you understand English? If not, what language do you understand?'
On the food stamp application: 'are you, or is anyone in your household, a fleeing felon?' (What made that particularly delightful is that if anyone ever answered yes to that, we were not allowed to tell law enforcement about it).
In my email inbox:
Blah, blah, please disregard the attachment.
