[Danke]

At least the money is going to a good cause.

From my perspective there is a simple remedy. Suspend any card that has been used in these establishments. When the individual comes in to complain then completely go over their case file again.

At the strip clubs, you might as well call it redistribution of welfare. Since strippers rarely report their total income to the IRS, (not like I blame them on this one), most claim very little income are on a variety of government and state assistance programs. Besides, where's all the love for the single moms? Think about all the children this will affect!

So I'm guessing you guys agree with the Judge when he says once the government gives people welfare they can't tell them how to spend it?

 

[paulbot24]

Well we could pay to have welfare police follow them around, write thousands of pages of legislation on it and encourage people to tell on them Gestapo style, or we could just start hacking away at the number of welfare qualifiers, and the program itself. That's a really wordy way of saying yes I do agree with the Judge.

EBT cards should be limited to paying only for "approved" products (food and clothes). There shouldn't ever be cash benefits.

The answer is very simple. Turn SNAP (food stamps) into WIC so they can only by the barebone nececities. Give them a cook book and tell them since they have all this time not working they can learn how to cook. There shouldn't be cash for whatever. There shouldn't be section 8 housing. There sure as hell shouldn't be free cell phones.

I'm all about helping people down on their luck. I am very much against people capable but not willing to work.

If welfare was turned into 'workfare' I'm pretty sure we'd instantly see a 50% reduction in claims.

Are they allowed to buy organic food or will they be required to buy food from Monsanto?

Bingo. I didn't even know they had a "cash benefits" program, separate from welfare, that they can just ATM out for anything until I looked it up just now. Jesus. Isn't welfare enough?

 

[Danke]

With WIC, it can be pretty crappy food, mostly processed, white bread, etc.

Whatever is cheaper.

What about people that are already working but still don't have enough to provide for their families?

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to phill4paul again.

All funds are fungible, so it doesn't matter.

The solution to this is to put charity back in the hands of churches and private citizens. People are a lot less likely to voluntarily give money to someone they know is wasting money on coke and hookers. (well, coke and hookers wouldn't really be a waste of money, but you get my point)

I read part of that. It's sad there are people who agree with her.
