Kansas moves to implement $25 ATM withdrawal limit for welfare recipients

[DrDoomNGloom]

Welfare costs taxpayers an average of 34 dollars a year. Corporate welfare costs individual taxpayers over five thousand dollars a year. But which one do you choose to bitch about?

Dude your links and information is all out of date and fake as shit.

I'm guessing you have no clue what the current disbursements would be.................

This is from a 2015 article ..........

[Snip]
More recently, subsidy tracking group Good Jobs First released a report last year detailing where exactly taxpayer dollars are being funneled, and which states are the most likely to divvy up handouts. There are some surprises in the report, but many details won’t come as much of a shock at all. New York and Washington were the top two states for handing out corporate subsidies, with New York alone topping more than $20 billion across nearly 69,000 individual handouts. The data also shows that roughly 75% of disclosed subsidy dollars have gone to 965 big companies. The total known value of subsidies across the country came out at an estimated $110 billion, although its likely more.

Federal welfare costs will come in at $376 billion, and federal education programs will cost about $149 billion. Interest on the national debt is estimated at $229 billion. State governments are "guesstimated" by usgovernmentspending.com to spend about $1.5 trillion in FY 2015.

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 fucking read, correct??

Kansas has found the ultimate way to punish the poor
By Max Ehrenfreund May 21

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.

I repeat. You can't draw cash off a food stamp benefit.

Yes you can , I have seen the ATM machines down here that have notes on them

You cannot get cash from an EBT card unless you have a cash balance.

that's how much the left live in their own little bubble. they don't have a clue about REAL LIFE

True. Which is why they struggle. And are easily manipulated by the government.

Really? How does the govt. manipulate the left?

Keeps them in poverty while buying their votes.

YEP, vote for Democrats:
we'll keep you without hope and dependent of taxpayers (government).
that's just OFFENSIVE as hell. how anyone can belong in that party is beyond me. they do the same thing with black people. they STRUT around crowing how they always vote Democrat: it's like they OWN THEM.

No you have to have TAFDC, SNAP can not be drawn in cash.

Which makes all the points about going to an ATM for food money moot.

Why are you saying 'NO' when you're agreeing I was right in the first place?

It's all money. The mortgage deduction is someone's free money at someone else's expense.

 

[DrDoomNGloom]

Your statement was that you had to have a cash balance.

TAFDC never entered the conversation until I mentioned it.

Your post implied because it did not specify otherwise that you could get cash off a SNAP card with a cash balance.

oh my that is sweet. No we are holding our head above water so far. My guy had open heart surgery and has been off work for nine months now. but he's 28 years with Ford so we still get some monies every week.
But the damn prices of food today. OMG I don't how some people are making it. but I damn sure wouldn't go crawl on welfare even though we probably could have during this struggle. I'd get a second job or something. I have more PRIDE. something that is lacking in the people in this day and age.
that was touching though.

 

[Wyatt earp]

oh well, it's their STATE they can do what they want. I guess all you on welfare won't be moving there eh.

Guess who pays the price to drag red states out of the holes they dig themselves?

What the fuck?
Are you smoking crack or something what state in the south was rich?

I will wait....

Bypass maybe??

Little plumbing work on the outside from clogged arteries??

Four of them, one blocked carotid artery in the neck and a cancer taken off the top of his left lung. Just finished up 12 weeks of chemotherapy. He's a tough old Harley riding pipefitter guy. BUT this one kicked his a ass a little bit. We are deciding if he's going to back to work or take medical retirement. like I said he has 28years in with Ford.
