People complaining that they can't buy alcohol, tobacco, or lottery tickets with welfare money... unbelievable. I, for one, whole heartedly support this law. Seems like common sense to me.

Yeah .. I love seeing welfare reciepients all tatted and pierced up. Tats and peircing ain't cheeap(I have several).. Welfare is for feeding the hungry and clothing on their backs, ain't for recreation it's for need. They want to decorate themselves or have a good time, get a freakin job...
That's why welfare reform is desperately need. Send out to pick up trash 10-12 hours a day.
Exactly. Alot of public works could be accomplished by those on welfare. The State is just giving it to them anyways, might as well make them pick up trash, clean parks, do janitor duties at municpal buildings, etc. There are a TON of things that they can do. Make them work for their paycheck like the rest of us.Quote:

The problem with common sense is that it's not common.
Frankly as far as I'm concerned, if you collect welfare it should be ILLEGAL for you to purchase tobacco, alcohol, tattoos, candy, soda, fast food, or ANYTHING not required to keep you alive and functioning with ANY money you posses. For that matter it should be illegal for you to shop in any store, you should be required to pick up your free food from a government run warehouse and eat it back at the government run barracks you live at.
If you can afford smokes, beer, tats, etc you don't need the government's help.
It's sad that this is even an issue. They are claiming that it's unfair and categorizing welfare recipients as irresponsible - no, it simply ensures that those that ARE irresponsible don't get to spend government money on stupid things. It's mind boggling that this is even an issue. You take a look at the London rights, caused by taking away some entitlements - just how far away are we from both having to take them away and having a bunch of folks riot because their welfare is getting cut. Sad.
