You just got on welfare, what do you want to do now? Go to Disney World. It’s cold out in Maine, but it’s really warm in Florida, just like back home in Somalia. Leave the polar vortex behind and catch some rays, withdraw some cash and enjoy the good life.
Working people are paying for it.
According to Department of Health and Human Service records, cash welfare users from Maine have spent $2.8 million outside of the state over the last three years – and not just in neighboring New Hampshire.
According to HHS records, the top recipients of Maine’s welfare cash are: New Hampshire: $1.4 million; Massachusetts: $360,000; Florida: $206,000; and New York: $100,000.
New York’s tourism board really needs to do more outreach to Maine welfare recipients. We’ve got to pay for all the people Bill de Blasio is going to put on welfare. Maybe he can innovate welfare tourism.
On Aug. 1, 2011, one or more EBT cards were used within a three-minute time frame to access nearly $500 in welfare cash at an ATM in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. That particular ATM happens to be located almost on top of the campus of Disney World Resorts.
On March 1, 2011, at 3:20AM, a Maine EBT cardholder accessed an ATM in Cape Canaveral, Florida, twice, withdrawing $400. The address of the ATM corresponds with Ron Jon Cape Caribe Resort.
Additional Sunshine State transactions occur at the Kennedy Space Center in Orlando, the Family Fun Center of Lakeland, and at North Miami Beach, Miami Beach, Vero Beach, Ormond Beach and Daytona Beach – all hotspots for Mainers on vacation.
The list goes on to include Las Vegas, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Four Seasons Resort Aviara in California.
The Four Seasons Resort Aviara is a five star hotel. I couldn’t afford it, but I’m not a welfare recipient in Maine.
But don’t worry Governor Moonbeam, California is still number one.
Californians have, of course, been the undisputed 50-state champions of transitional-living-fund spending across state lines. At a stratospheric $69 million from 2007 to 2010: well, can’t touch that, transitional-living-fund-wise. The top out-of-state venue for poverty-stricken, transitional-living-fund-wielding Californians? Las Vegas. $11.8 million spent by starving California children, much of it at casinos and co-located ATMs.
Remind me, wasn’t Obama lecturing CEOs about spending money in Vegas? I guess that doesn’t apply to his voting base.
So much for spending for compassion.
Is this equal access to all things not needed too?
I’m glad someone gets to go on vacation. I don’t think my family will be doing anything fantastic this year.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?????????????????
THOSE CARDS SHOULD BE PROGRAMMED NOT TO WORK FOR ANYTHIG BUT FOOD
DISNEY SHOULD BE FINED FOR ACCEPTING IT
Stop looking down on them just because they don’t work!
The work challenged deserve a ‘living wage’, just everyone else, (and you’re a racist and greedy if you don’t agree).
After all, they’re people too! And everyone should be able to contribute what they prefer to contribute, with an ‘equal’ claim to produced value! Some people contribute produce or manufactured goods. Other people contribute illegitimate babies and drug use. Everyone just does what they’re good at!
BINGO!!!!!
Meanwhile, there are real needs being taken care of like air conditioning, multiple flat screens and Xbox

FReepers need to pitch in and buy me an all expenses paid vacation.
I’m not expensive I’ll even stay in the tent. 4 weeks in Michigan’s upper peninsula will be fine. The second week of July to the second week of August should do it.
Thanks.
Yes, apparently we’re supposed to be liberal, and say that people on public assistance deserve nice vacations to Disney World and such places.
Millions of moderate income workers can’t afford to take these vacations, but, apparently we’re supposed to allow such expenses for those on the dole. Go figure.
Giving stuff to peeps doesn't make them live "right".
Doing so would just be judgmental and we can't have THAT!
That’s probably the main reason that the left insisted on taking charity out of the hands of the churches.
Too much “morality transfer” was going on.
Free food, free medical care, free phones, and now free vacations. Only in Amerika.
The cards need to be programmed only to cover about 25 necessary staple items. Potatoes, rice, beans, veggies.
This is all part of their plan to stimulate the economy by putting YOUR $$ in their pockets because they spend it., like this.
If they left your money with you you might just save it.
Creates jobs in Florida and Las Vegas
Yep, there’s no “worthy” poor vs. “unworthy” poor, only gov’t supported takers.
Meanwhile, my daughter, a social worker who visits Section 8 housing constantly as part of her job, noted that 100% of her clients had multiple flat screens and, if not an X-Box, the latest Play Station or Nintendo equivalent. Not 90% or even 99%. But a full 100%.
Of course, that was maybe because her parents choose to spend our money on foolish things as utilities, mortgage payments, groceries and property taxes.
We used to be the Land of the Free. Now we’re just the land of the freebie.
Expensive vacas! They must save up for a few months and then go. And why not? It’s guaranteed that they’ll have more EBT credit upon their return!
I’ve had to skip vacations because of the fear of not being able to keep up with my clients properly. I’m self employed. These people have nothing to fear.
