"Real Time" Interviews Shameless Welfare Recipients

Alexandra Pelosi, who went to the Deep South last week, went to her own backyard in New York City this past week to interview welfare "queens" and other recipients to see why they are taking the benefits, if they plan on getting a job and who they will be voting for in 2012.



Pelosi reveals that HBO execs were flummoxed to her request to let this air on this week's edition of "Real Time" with host Bill Maher. She said they didn't want this to air but Maher allowed it anyway.



"The entitlement culture is getting so big that we're losing our own people," Pelosi said in a warning shot to fellow Democrats.



Pelosi is the daughter of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, but is a filmmaker in her own right.
