They’re on the dole — and watching the pole.

Welfare recipients took out cash at bars, liquor stores, X-rated video shops, hookah parlors and even strip clubs — where they presumably spent their taxpayer money on lap dances rather than diapers, a Post investigation found.

Leftists don’t care - because Gov’t money spent at strip clubs and on booze is still counted as Keynesian “stimulus” flowing into the economy.

I’ve been in a strip bar or two and believe me, I’ve have NEVER seen a “no fee” ATM in one. Never. In fact they’re usually quite expensive, at least 5 bucks per transaction.

Surely we have a map of where these losers live.

I think this is probably more true than is given credit for. Most poor people are better behaved than given credit for.

I really feel sorry for welfare recipients. They are such shameless, ignorant, lazy asses that are completely at fault for their life circumstances and unwilling to do anything about it. They breed like rabbits with multiple partners creating future generations of welfare recipients. I wish they would get educated and be productive members of society since it makes me seem to be such an angry and mean conservative. Really, I am not. I want what is best for all Americans. Being on welfare is neither good for the recipient or that taxpayer.

The standard government response to this is, “It’s THEIR money. They can do whatever they want with it.”

Kalifornia caught some of their welfare recipients cashing EBTs at ATMs in Hawaii. I mean, if it’s good enough for Dear Leader then the “poor” want their “fair share” as well. No word that anybody got kicked off the rolls either.

Most states prohibit EBT money from being spent on anything other than food and drink

We get a local magazine advertising restaurants and many of them advertise "now taking EBT".

Can't believe the working who can't afford to go to these restaurants are paying for others to eat out.

Don’t worry, the 2014 tax hike will be even bigger than the 2013 tax hike is, and to make up for those who don’t pay any taxes, those who do will be forced to pay their fair share. Thanks 4buttons.

What’s that old adage...a fool and other people’s money are soon parted?

the architect of the new welfare state spends his welfare check on Hawaii vacations, golf, ice cream and fundraising trips. So why shouldn’t they get a little taxpayer funded fun?

Nobody holds lifetime welfare trolls personally responsible, so why would they be responsible for how they spend “their” money?

I mean, really?
