Welfare People Getting Cash at ATM's in Strip Clubs Still OK

http://dailycaller.com/2013/04/05/still ... rip-clubs/

Pretty straight forward, and a Dem actually supported the measure but of course it was knocked down with one of the dumbest excuses I've ever heard:

But Democrats defeated the amendment Thursday, with the Post reporting that one lawmaker said people who live in poor areas and don’t have cars might not have a choice but to use a strip club ATM.

And there's this little piece of info as well:

When he introduced a bill to ban ATM withdrawals in strip clubs in 2011, Pabon said he was worried that taxpayer money was being paid to strippers rather than used for food or to pay bills. He also cited the typically high withdrawal fees charged at ATMs in adult entertainment businesses.

No where else to get money in the city eh? Hell, even in the small town where I'm from in Alaska there was an ATM at the gas station, and we're talking population six hundred 'back then.' Fraud is fraud, and I think this bill should've passed.

Strippers are providing stimulus and need to get paid too?

Why shouldn't the poor support single mothers with more ambition than to be just another sammitch maker?

I believe I posted on this topic some time ago; people getting aid from the gubment for food should only be allowed to spend those funds on food. Waste your own cash in the jiggle joints.

You already can't use the cards in liquor stores, casinos, etc, so what's the problem? Totally agree OPTW, and Fred, I believe that was a funny,

Or you just sell your EBT benefits for 50 cents on the dollar and spend it on booze and strippers?

Wouldn't that be against the law?!

I'm sure that the law isn't stopping those who are so inclined. How About a 60/40 split if I can guarantee $100 K or more a week?

Obsessing on where the "47% are getting their cash from" again?...

Don't you guys have anything better to worry about except what the DailyCaller says you should be outraged about?...I'm sure there's an elderly grandmother out there that took part of her money and bought a bottle of Merlot to enhance her Sunday meal. Perhaps you could go storm her house and demand she pee into a cup or something...

I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and crap out a better answer. Fraud, waste, and abuse of US tax dollars is what we are talking about. Try again, maybe even be on topic this time.

The people are getting the money because they qualified for it... The money has already come out of the budget... How they choose to PICK IT UP (and by extension, your baseless obsessions about how they MIGHT be spending it), is none of your f**king business.... Get over yourself.

I think it's the "business" of every American taxpayer how the limited tax dollars get allocated. The more money that's wasted and abused, the more people who really need it get screwed.
