Tax dollars at great use here folks. But no, people don't abuse these government programs so believes some idiots out there. Government solution throw money around and those that are supposedly there to oversee it, don't, so morons like Obama decide we need to create more government agencies to make those those other agencies are doing their jobs.

Welfare recipients get $12,000 from strip club ATMs

Gov. Schwarzenegger orders the California Department of Social Services to remove the clubs from a list of businesses approved for state-issued cards.
Reporting from Sacramento — California welfare recipients have been able to get taxpayer cash — meant to feed and clothe their children — from ATMs at strip clubs across the state, including some well-known gentlemen's cabarets in Los Angeles.

More than $12,000 from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program was dispensed between the start of 2007 and the end of 2009 at clubs, including Sam's Hofbrau, Star Strip and Seventh Veil, according to officials at the state Department of Social Services.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has ordered the department to remove the clubs from the official list of businesses where welfare recipients can withdraw benefits using state-issued ATM cards.

That money goes missing from the public coffers during a rethug administration or down the profiteering hole in Iraq and you don't hear a peep of protest from fairyr.

He's a good little soldier for the reverse Robin Hood party.

That happens in every state in the nation. Here in Utah it is in Wendover. You cannot control where they spend the money but there are many many things that can be done about who you give that money to. But they won't. Clinton came the closest to doing it but then Bush came in and piled a bunch of "excuses" on these people, which qualified more people.

And barry was right here starting threads to take Bush to task.

Oh wait.....
