Dems don’t need to show us their cards

When will this Republican war on women end?
Strippers are women too, you know.
And now comes this report of the EBT Card Commission, suggesting that perhaps the state should comply with new federal laws and stop providing the layabout community with free lap dances.
This is practically a hate crime. Bad enough they’ve already banned EBT cards at package stores. They sell limes at packies, and single moms need limes, you know, to ward off scurvy. It’s for the children.
One recommendation was to “eliminate cash benefits and require POS (point of sale) use only.”
It went down, 6-1.
Only Rep. Shauna O’Connell of Taunton voted for it. She and a couple others worked hard on this report, but it’s almost impossible to go up against the Welfare-Industrial Complex, also known as the Democrat Party.
There’s no way these layabouts and their Democrat enablers will ever give up the free cash. I mean, if you can’t use an EBT card to get cash, what’s the point of having one? You get your food from the local food bank, or church, or some other charity. The fatherless kids get all their meals at school, for free. The EBT card is for all those essential non-essentials, like visits to your local nail salon or tattoo parlor.
Go ahead and laugh. But plenty of thugs get pinched because the cops can identify them by their tattoos. It’s a law-enforcement tool.
Naturally, almost everybody on the commission voted for a “financial literacy” program. Oh yeah, that’ll be about as useful as your average inner-city job training program.
Deval and his gang would like to crack down, they really would. But there’s no money, don’t you know.
Like two years ago, when the Democrats said they couldn’t afford to run a check on every welfare recipient to see if they were in the country legally — not at the outrageous cost of $7 per illegal.
This time the state considered photo IDs for the EBT cards. It was the same old story: “The Department did not have adequate staff to process the necessary volume of photo IDs, and did not find that photos were a deterrent for fraud.”
Of course they’re not a deterrent. The cops never arrest anybody for EBT fraud. It’s too dangerous — they might lug an illegal alien, and that is absolutely verboten, especially in an election year.
On page 14 is an interesting chart showing where the EBT cards were used most often in January. The welfare crowd cashed out $346,807 at Cumberland Farms, $286,194 at 7-Eleven, but only $223,898 at Market Basket. Obviously, they’re not doing a lot of comparison shopping.
But why bother, when you’re using OPM — other people’s money?
