One in three New Mexicans on Welfare...and we're proud!!!!
New Mexico is so poor...how poor? It's so poor that the state's Human Services Department serves one out of three citizens of the state. You know the worst part of it is that they are so proud of that fact that they put that at the very top of the webpage for all to see. While serving one of three New Mexicans may seem like a lot, if the Legislature passes "universal health care" which Richardson has endorsed, one in three could be just the start.
