It's a very poor law if ATM cash is available. All this really does is put pressure on the retailers. I'm not sure why people cheer laws like this that do nothing to actually put pressure on the abusers.
Instead of an ATM card, these "wards of the state" should be given a sack of rice and bushel of potatoes.
Alcohol... give them a monetary limit per month to spend on it ($15 probably works).
But, I also agree, if they can just get cash, then this is pointless.
Disagree.
If you want the luxury of booze, you work and spend your money on it. Welfare is supposed to help people. Only people's needs to be met. Sadly over time, the "needs" sure have expanded greatly..
If you have the money to drink, smoke, get high, and gamble.. you have money for your needs and life.
We do need to cut the 'cash' part of this EBT thing. Why give them cash?
Anyone who lives in the "cash only" economy. They pay their utilitity bills with money orders or cash to avoid opening a bank account that can be tracked by the govt to forfeit their free or subsidized housing.
You and me both....I already know exactly to whom the other poster was referring to when he was in St Louis at the casino, I would just like to hear how he knew they were on welfare.

One can only suppose we should outlaw money orders.
No, they just want to hear "minorities" or other words to describe "welfare" type. It's actually pretty laughable at the hypocrisy at this.
When minorities are called "welfare type", it's offensive.
Yet, as seen in the link below, when we talk about wealth.. it's OK that we can talk about the amount of minorities on welfare provided they come out as the victims.
Good, now make it illegal to use the money for Xboxes, Iphones, and super-expensive clothing and accessories and we'll be golden.
And don't forget the hair extensions, expensive manicures and expensive make-up as well. My mother sees this every single day as a cashier at Squal*Mart.
And no, she isn't imagining it either.
