Your Tax Dollars At Play
-
Every sweeps month, we get TV news "I-Team Investigations" breathlessly informing us that people use their state-issued EBT cards -- those debit cards with welfare or food stamp payments -- at ATMs in strip clubs, casinos, and tobacco shops. The officials say it's a small minority, but there's that. And when you don't put strict controls on what people do with their dole payments, you have to expect that there's going to be some of this. Unless you pay in coupons only redeemable at certain places for certain things, you have to accept it. (WFSB-TV/Hartford)
