States restrict welfare purchases
By Marisol Bello, USA TODAY Updated 22m ago

Ten states have passed such laws and at least 14 are considering them, the National Conference of State Legislatures says.
Under a new federal law, all states must prevent the use of cash benefits in liquor stores, gambling establishments and adult entertainment businesses by 2014. States that fail to establish policies face cuts in federal support.
Welfare recipients use debit cards to buy things or get cash at ATMs. A report by the House Ways and Means committee cited news reports in eight states about people with welfare debit cards withdrawing thousands of dollars from ATMs in casinos, liquor stores and strip clubs. The report did not estimate how often that happened or how much money was involved.........................>>>>...................>>>>.....................http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012-07-08/welfare-purchase-restrictions/56100508/1

Oh no, not that.

Really, they won't just stop at a bank ATM on the way to the liquor store?

what the government doesn't see the taxpayers don't see and no hard feelings(no pun intended-oh wait, yes pun intended)

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
