Caught this on the news this morning. Voting on the use of ebt cards at casinos,liquor stores,and strip clubs if that would be ok. The stupidity is runing rampant these days.

Government trying to protect us from freedom to make bad decisions.  If someone wants to get drunk and blow all there money, it is THEIR money to blow.  I understand people have gambling/drinking problems, but regulating everyone is stupid and overstepping government authority.

But EBT cards are OUR money.

Well, they, once upon a time, used to be called Food Stamps. I posted in another thread that I had seen one at an

Auto Zone on Charlotte Pike, in Nashville. That one left me scratching my head. I wonder if the parts guys carry

the groceries to the car?

Exactly my point.  I earned it, I should be able to stuff it down some chicks panties at a legal establishment.  Not that I go to strip joints.  Got that out of my system years ago.  But if I wanted to...!

Oh, my mistake, you mean FOOD STAMPS!  I took it as debit cards.  That's a whole different story.

Hell no they shouldn't be able to use them anywhere but grocery stores.

I always find it amazing what nice cars they have, expensive clothes, jewelry,... our tax dollars at work I guess.

How else are they going to afford to put $1000+ rims on a $600 car while their kids starve?
