So Mac the not spending of food stamps in a grocery store but instead obtaining the cash value to spend on products that would not be covered by food stamps if rung up properly in a grocery store.
Yet you claim this is political and does not pass the smell test.
Yet the situation that creates the need for these types of laws do.
I think your smeller is broke.
I mean you condone that nasty smelling shit, but have issues when trying to put sanity back into the situation.
So all this cash, what do you folks need to buy that the food stamp card can not be directly charged??
You can't draw cash off a food stamp benefit.
You really are a special kind of STUPID aren't you??
Should have just left it alone, but no your ignorant ass had to push it.
You can ******* read, correct??

Kansas has found the ultimate way to punish the poor

A dollar bill is a special kind of thing. You can keep it as long as you like. You can pay for things with it. No one will ever charge you a fee. No one will ask any questions about your credit history. And other people won't try to tell you that they know how to spend that dollar better than you do.
For these reasons, cash is one of the most valuable resources a poor person in the United States can possess. Yet legislators in Kansas, not trusting the poor to use their money wisely, have voted to limit how much cash that welfare beneficiaries can receive, effectively reducing their overall benefits, as well.
The legislature placed a daily cap of $25 on cash withdrawals beginning July 1, which will force beneficiaries to make more frequent trips to the ATM to withdraw money from the debit cards used to pay public assistance benefits.
Since there's a fee for every withdrawal, the limit means that some families will get substantially less money.
