Colorado Bill Bans Welfare Cards At Strip Clubs
February 14, 2011 4:25 PM
DENVER (AP) – A bill to ban the use of public assistance cards at strip
club ATMs got initial approval from lawmakers but not before a
light-hearted debate.
House Democrats offered several amendments
to the Rep. Dan Pabon’s bill Monday, including naming the legislation
“The Dan Pabon Valentine’s Day Strip Club Public Assistance Act of
2011.”
Another amendment said the law should not be in effect at any time at Rep. Mark Waller’s “place of residence.”
The cards, similar to ATM cards, give recipients access to food stamps and other public assistance.
The House approved the bill on second reading, without the amendments, and faces another vote before going to the Senate.
The law already prohibits people from using their public assistance cards at ATMs in casinos, racetracks, and liquor stores.

It's about time that stands like this start, spending tax payers money for this kind of stuff is crazy, if things don't chance this whole place is going to Hexx. The public needs to wake up and put a stop to most of the crap that goes on with tax payer money.
Thomas Jefferson once said" When the people fear the government that is known as tyranny. When the government fears the people that is known as Liberty"
I am afraid that it's getting closer and closer to the time for the people to stand up for Liberty.

I still don't understand why these cards are good at ANY ATM.
Frankly we should do away with these cards and other restribution programs and simply open a Government Grocery Store in each city and the poor can shop there.
Makes me sick watching someone on government assistance buying junk food, smokes and liquor (even with "their own" money … since I'm subsidizing their existance).

As harsh as it may seem I sincerely agree. It gets tiring buying baloney and "oat Oh's" (non brand Cherrios) and waiting in line behind someone with 5 2-lt bottles of orange drink, 3 cartons of microwave bacon, 20 microwave dinners and pizza and some chicken nuggets.
Soap Box, Ballot Box, Ammo Box
in that order.

Why does our system have to provide them with an ATM card? Think about the waste there! Who pays for the card, the time to process the debits, and the bank account that the money is drawn from? We Do! I think that folks should get a monthly lump sum via a check to cover their needs for up to six months, based upon their situtation (# of dependants, previous amount paid into system, etc.). It would be much more efficient for us if they didn't get seperate payments from welfare, food stamps, etc.
After the money runs out, they are on their own, or they can go to their church or community for help. Endless subsidization of the non-working does nothing for our society. This may be harsh, but natural selection should be allowed to run it's course, or our species will end up as an afterthought in the dustbins of history.

Remember the rampant welfare ATM card fraud & abuse after Katrina? Those people thought they won the lottery & were living it up.
I have no idea why these cards can be used at ATM's, but it's not surprising considering our inept government. Actually, I do know why...I bet that mailing out checks was getting too troublesome, so some bureaucrat decided he was tired of listening to the whining & went with the more "streamlined" (read; lazy government bureaucratic) method. That way those poor needy souls can get their money fast.
I like Zunfoldge's idea of a government grocery store. Every welfare recepient should have to visit their welfare office every six months & repeat their sob stories, in order to get another six month grocery card. And that card should have a cap on it...only be able to have a certain amount drawn from it per week.
However, something like that would never fly because, it wouldn't be politically correct. Non-welfare citizens would know that "those people" have to buy their stuff at the welfare store & the welfare recepients might feel bad amongst their peers. Can't have that.
Yeesh.

Instead of a Government-run grocery store, why don't we use the money we give these folks for not dying and teach them a skill like picking up trash along the highway, make them work and lower the unemployment in the country.
And if you think anything run by the Government in effective or efficient, you haven't been around long enough to witness some of the debacles administered by this group of clowns.

Yes, put people to work!
Too many people that I interview for jobs in my business have one or both of these obstacles: Transportation and Child Care
1) Expand Public Transportation to "working people's" hours, 6AM-Midnight
2) Develop/expand multiple Child Care alternatives that allow for solutions to differing needs, again, modeled after "working" hours
These two items alone will create jobs, and will free the people that want to work, to actually get a job.
Unfortunately, we continue to support the new American Worker, the "government employee" who's job it is to receive multiple kinds of public support, mixed with occaisional brief stints of actually having a job, throughout their entire life.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
