I didn’t know you could use cards for that sort of thing. I would have guessed such things would be banned outright.

That this was even allowed in the first place is what’s disturbing.

Under a plan Trump is urging on other states, Fla is the first w/ sweeping new limits on how welfare cash can be spent, blocking recipients from using cash loaded onto EBT cards for purchases like:
<><>tattoos,
<><>theme park tickets,
<><>video games,
<><>vaping products
<><>and other items not generally considered ‘basic needs.’

Instead of creating a growing list of things you can’t buy how about just stating what is allowed- food- bread, eggs, milk, cheese, meat, ... AND NOTHINGS ELSE

The governor's press release announcing the change also cites 'Psychic and fortune-telling services' among those purchases that will be prohibited.

Did any of them see this coming?

In some states (all?) as soon as a person qualifies for one welfare type payment, they automatically qualify for about eight others without any further need to apply. Considering that some programs, such as free school lunches, require no upfront verification of income, the scamming must be enormous.

This is a complete outrage. It is no wonder that people on welfare do not want to get a job because they were their actual income would go way down. Many of their freebies provided by people ( taxpayers) who do work are not even counted in their income. There are so many different subsidy programs such as section 8 housing, utility assistance, Medicaid, Obamaphones, free Internet, etc.

Better to get rid of government charity altogether.

Florida is in a unique position to do that as they can just tell everyone to go forage in the Everglades.

All welfare people should receive is 3 MRE’s per day per person. That’s it. I know some will feel this is “insensitive” but it is “insensitive” of welfare-ers to become a dependent parasite who sits around all day eating snacks and sipping sodas..at the expense of those who work. The welfare advocates (who often grift the welfare “industry”) and those on welfare need to change their pathetic negative attitudes, go to work and stop with the excuses.

EBT should be good for beans, rice, and milk. Nothing more.

The kids can eat knock-off Kraft mac&cheese three times a day so I can get another tattoo.

American parenting at its best.
