I guess those poor people need to go to strip joints on the tax payer's dime. This is a complete fraud being perpetrated on the tax payers all over the US.

Why would it have ever started........I made a mistake on a 941 form for our business, you bet they have hounded me for every penny! This program is not being used as it was set up for. It needs to go away or major overall, I don't see either happening.

It is my understanding that states are responsible for detecting and preventing fraud.

LBJ promised that the war on poverty would be an "investment" just like Obama and Nancy Pelosi who said that welfare was an economic stimulus. They said that would "return its cost manifold to the entire economy." But the country has invested $20.7 trillion in 2011 dollars over the past 50 years. What does America have to show for its investment? Apparently, almost nothing: The official poverty rate persists with little improvement.

Now strip shows is important to survival.

Not to long ago people were upset with EBTs being used at Autozone. People are upset that EBT buys Steak and Lobster. NO EBT for candy and soda. NO EBT for beer and cigaretts.

Now add lap dances to the list.
