they just try to get luck on that way, poor people

Just for the record, I'm neither for or against cutting off welfare. If a proposal was introduced to eliminate it, I'd go along with that. But I think the trade off would be an increase in crime and homelessness. If that's an acceptable trade-off, sure... cut that shit off man. On the other hand, if such a proposal was never introduced, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it either.

i think alot of people have an over-exagerated view of what welfare recepients get. Who cares if a few welfare people spend their pittance at a casino.

We give away much much more money to Israel, and they use the money to buy bullets to kill people with.

I also think people confuse what welfare is really for. Welfare is to keep lazy people from being criminals and to keep our society somewhat civilized. Its a very small price to pay.

They are debit cards you can track where every purchase is made, seems like a pretty simple thing to start banning people from public assistance that abuse it. Bring criminal charges against them as well.

what crime :1orglaugh

Not being a good poor person?

There's also a very real possibility a goodly portion of these withdrawals were from tribal members who are on welfare and work at the casinos. Easier than going to a bank to use the card to get cash.

It gets people pissed off thinking tax dollars are going to gambling, but without facts and figures everyone is jumping to this conclusion. It may not at all be the case.

Think instead of all the retirees using their social security or disability to buy lottery tickets. Perfectly legal. Sure, they paid into the social security fund, but for most their benefits now are WELL OVER what they contributed, and the balance is funded by those of us currently working. Be pissed at this instead, because it's much more common. And there's NO way to stop it.

Stolen/cloned debit cards could be a factor.

I don't recall but that sounds like a brilliant fucking idea.

Better yet, they can get welfare or one year and then after that they have to wait a year to get it again. Then they have a cap of five years total.

Sorry, if I lost my job and my house I'd be moving in with family long before I'd be fucking moving into some section 8 housing crap ghetto.

That's another can of worms. Why we give money to Israel is beyond me; Why we give money / aid / support of any kind to North Korea, Iran, or any other country, friend or foe, boggles my mind.
