Food Stamps OK For Porn, Tatoos, Jewelry

[PoliticalChic]

No, what I pointed out is that someone is paying for rent with foodstamps.

Is rent food?

No, they're using their food stamps to buy food. What they do with their food is their own business.

No, you ******* idiot, AGAIN...

SHE is using HER foodstamps to buy RENT.

What THEY do with HER foodstamps is ******* FRAUD because they aren't THEIR foodstamps, and because they are accepting FOODSTAMPS as payment for RENT.

I love the criminal mentality of the left. It's nobody's business when someone commits a crime, that's between them and their victim!

Well in this case, the victim is not only the woman who is paying foodstamps for rent..it's also the taxpayer.

Your expectation of either honesty or understanding from folks like that brings to mind this, from Jefferson:

"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be."


Universities do a thorough job of indoctrination...but the wiser folks begin to see through the miasma as they grow up....

....clearly, there are those such as the fool to whom you are responding who has not and will not.

The movement has been spurred in part by Congress. Under legislation signed by President Barack Obama in February to extend a payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits, welfare recipients are barred from using their cash assistance in strip clubs, casinos and liquor stores. States must change their own laws to conform by 2014.

From Arizona to Maine, states have been going even further on their own, adopting or considering legislation to block the use of benefits for other items deemed frivolous. Among them: porn, cruises and psychic readings.

In the past 12 years, at least 10 states passed laws restricting welfare purchases, three of them this year, while at least 14 others are proposing similar legislation, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

New welfare restrictions target booze, tattoos

Wow. If the MA governor defies the feds, will the DOJ go after them like AZ? (insert snark mark here)

May I be forgiven for pretending that your tongue-in-cheek ( ...will the DOJ go after them...) was a serious question?



My intent is to remind folks the way Obama enforces the law when his pals are at the muzzle end of it:



1. The American ideal is that we are “a nation of laws, not of men,” as John Adams put it. Essentially, our ideal should be that laws apply equally to all men.

2. Thug politics applies the law in a very different manner. For example, it would mean that the Department of Justice institute a policy not to prosecute blacks when the aggrieved are white.

3. Then there was the case of Sacramento’s Democrat Mayor Kevin Johnson. An unfortunate government watchdog made the mistake of looking too closely at his misuse of government funds…and suddenly found himself out of a job. Since inspectors genereal are supposed to be independent, ‘else how do they conduct investigations into federal agencies? In fact, Congress passed the Inspectors General Reform Act of 2008. (Public Law 110-409 : “To amend the Inspector General Act of 1978 to enhance the independence of the Inspectors General, to create a Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency, and for other purposes.”)
Barack Obama was a co-sponsor.


4. Gerald Walpin was the inspector general who oversaw the AmeriCorps program, and he discovered evidence that Democrat Mayor Kevin Johnson had misused $850,000 of the AmeriCorps grant money and ‘used federally-funded AmeriCorps staff for, among other things, "driving [Johnson] to personal appointments, washing his car, and running personal errands."

a. BTW, did I mention that Kevin Johnson stated that he was ‘a personal friend of President Obama?

The thread title is a lie. It is not okay to buy non-food items in Massachusetts with food stamps.

 

[koshergrl]

Is that what the thread title says?

Nope.

Nope.

Food Stamps OK For Porn, Tatoos, Jewelry

1. Does it say food stamps are okay?

yes

2. Are porn, tattoos, and jewelry non-food items?

yes

3. Is the thread about Massachusetts?

yes

Now, which part of that is not true?

 

[koshergrl]

You said the thread title was a lie.

You were lying. There's nothing about Mass in the thread title.

And it is okay to buy porn and cigs with foodstamps, it's widespread.

Why does the left want to pretend it's not? What do you gain from lying?

At the risk of creating the impression that I might possibly entertain the idea that you have enough common sense to think this through and answer objectively,

let me ask you -

how is such a law enforceable if the cash assistance EBT card can be used at an ATM machine to get good old fashioned cash out?

 

[NYcarbineer]

You said the thread title was a lie.

Okay? Really? Show me any state that includes porn and cigarettes on their lists of things 'okay' to buy with food stamps.

 

[koshergrl]

I think probably it would just make it impossible to use your ebt card as a debit card for liquor and such...it would force ppl to actually draw the cash out.

There, that wasn't so difficult now, was it?

The thread title doesn't say that. It says that ebt can be USED to purchase those things.

This is simple English. Which explains why it's difficult for you.

But it can't. The EBT card will not process a non-food purchase with food stamp benefits. Period.

 

[koshergrl]

Who said it did?

Nobody. What was said is that foodstamps are being used to purchase non-food items.

As they are. I had a client tell me she used her foodstamps for rent just the other day.

I know people who use them to purchase drugs.

Happens regularly.

And self contradictory shit like this is exactly why yo are a flaming idiot.

Contradictory to what?

Take another hit off that government-purchased bong, loser.

Still waiting for you to keep this promise......



.....waiting.......

You have to prove it. I'd start with the official website of Massachusetts if I were you.

Well, color me surprised!!!


You're not going to keep your word???


Claude-Rains-shocked!

And after wingy posted this:" A friend of my brothers next door neighbor lives in Mass and he gets lap dances for food stamps

Is that enough proof?" post #516....


You are such a phony.

Time to bury this boy:

"Welfare recipients take out cash at strip clubs, liquor stores and X-rated shops

Welfare recipients took out cash at bars, liquor stores, X-rated video shops, hookah parlors and even strip clubs — where they presumably spent their taxpayer money on lap dances rather than diapers, a Post investigation found.

A database of 200 million Electronic Benefit Transfer records from January 2011 to July 2012, obtained by The Post through a Freedom of Information request, showed welfare recipients using their EBT cards to make dozens of cash withdrawals at ATMs inside Hank’s Saloon in Brooklyn; the Blue Door Video porn shop in the East Village; The Anchor, a sleek SoHo lounge; the Patriot Saloon in TriBeCa; and Drinks Galore, a liquor distributor in The Bronx.


The state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA), which oversees the “cash assistance program,” even lists some of these welfare-ready ATMs on its Web site."

Food stamps can only buy food.

Cash benefits can buy whatever the person wants, however 1) less then 1% of withdrawals are made at those locations, and 2) many ststes have already moved to ban ATMs at those locations from accepting the ebt card.

All in all, a non issue.

I'll be surprised if a right winger ever complains about corporate welfare. It's not part of the whining points they get from fox news.

According to John Stossel, the biggest welfare queens are farmers. Agricultural subsidies including direct payments, marketing loans, counter-cyclical payments, conservation subsidies, insurance, disaster aid, export subsidies, and agricultural research, taken together, have become one of the largest middle- and upper-class welfare programs in the nation.

a. “Washington paid out a quarter of a trillion dollars in federal farm subsidies between 1995 and 2009, but to characterize the programs as either a “big government” bailout or another form of welfare would be manifestly unfair – to bailouts and welfare.” Government’s Continuing Bailout of Corporate Agriculture | Environmental Working Group



Did you know that John Stossel is a Fox reporter?

Wipe that egg off your face?
