Amusing that Republicans in Kansas think the poor is a bigger drain on their resources than wealthy corporations that demand everything from reduction in taxes, to prime real estate to build upon. If a wealth person shows up, Republicans will kneel down to suck their cock, but if anyone else has a problem, 'fuck 'em'.
I saw this story last night and thought it just sounded absolutely silly. The ATM cards are limited to $25/day in charges. Most people shop by the week rather than the day. Poor people working 40 hours/week at minimal wage now have to trudge off to the market on their way home to handle the food purchases. Its like Republicans wish to give the wealthy every convenience but be an absolute dick to the poor. Because we all know that being financially poor is such an easy thing to handle....
Yet per many sources, each of these ATM cards charge a fee of $0.85 after the first transaction. So that is six days financial institutions are gaining $0.85 of the poor. In Kansas (per most sources) place the poor at over 15,500 in the last few moments. That's $0.85 per card holder each day. That Republicans want to keep the poor from gaming the system is silly compared to how easily the wealthy do it already.
The Republicans at state and federal levels have been going out of their way to earn bad press. In a time they should be trying to minimize the damages, they are showing they still dont understand the concept of 'running good government'.
Placing limitations on where and for what government subsidies may be used for is a reasonable stipulation and is routinely found in State regulations all around the country. And limiting how much CASH a person can withdraw from a government debit card while placing few limits on PURCHASES made with the debit card is not unusual at all. It isn't a Republican thing, it is a governmental micro management thing.
I'd say $25 a day is low but the limitation concept is valid. The last time I was forced to use an EBT card (drawing unemployment compensation from Illinois) the cash out limit was $100 a day. But no limit on making purchases. And, the Illinois EBT cad was blocked from being used at those third party ATMs you find in casinos and convenience stores. But you could still do debit card purchases at convenience stores.
Move along, these aren't the Republican droids you are looking for.
It doesn't matter that KS will be in the majority in passing a limitation on the usage of EBT cards. It doesn't matter that the limitations are, pretty much, the same as the Federal requirements (+cruise ships). It only matters that it was a Republicans passing it, and something could be written mocking them. That's it.
Let's ignore the rest of it....let's ignore the tax cutting, the deficit shortfall,the cuts to education and other services.
It's a republican gov.and a republican led statehouse,so let's ignore all of that,
LOL
Start a thread about it, Mike. This thread was about the legislation that is being passed, regarding limitations to the use of EBT cards. That has nothing to do with tax cutting, deficit shortfalls, or cuts to anything else.
Apparently, you forgot about that.
Bullshit DS,it's called thread drift 
No need to start a new thread,it's all patches of the same quilt.
Of course...using SNAP Benefits for anything other than what they were intended is fraud.
Tax cutting, deficit shortfalls, etc. are not.
