This is all Kabuki Theater. The House proposes the cuts, the Senate will strip them out, and the compromise package will fund EBT cards, so strip club- and liquor store-owners need not worry. All is well.
Laz, I love you dearly, but you (and other FReepers) need to stop pushing that myth. Yes, strip clubs and liquor stores can accept SOME EBT cards, but not all. When what is now called Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) was issued via a paper welfare check those same purchases were being made once those checks were cashed. Now they can be tracked electronically, but TANF is not the same as food stamps - which are also issued on the same Ebt cards.
