It was reported in July that California welfare recipients were able to get cash (meant for food, clothes and other items) from ATMs located in strip clubs across the state.
I was outraged. Welfare debit cards have to approved for use at ATM locations. How in the hell did the state allow welfare debit cards to be used at ATMs located in strip clubs?! This is money people should be using to feed, cloth and shelter themselves and their children. Instead this money, tax payer money, was being used to pay for lap dances. Like i said, i was outraged. That is until I read that the total amount that was deducted from those ATMs was 12,000 over two years. A total of approximately just under 17 dollars a day. Don’t get me wrong, I still don’t like the idea of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families being abused. But the abuse turned out to be less than a lap dance a day and in this state we waste our money on way more stupid crap than stripper. That shouldn’t come as a shock when we live in a state that allows its welfare recipients to take out money at strip clubs.
