Missouri welfare bucks spent across the nation

Before we all fly off the handle over this story and turn it into a controversy that it’s not, let’s just remember: Missourians who don’t make a lot of money and rely on public aid do travel out of state. It’s probably not uncommon for them to leave the state to visit family or possibly to work, or maybe to look into finding work.

OK, now that we’ve all acknowledged that and taken a deep breath, holy crap, a lot of Missouri welfare money is spent outside of the state!
