I know I seem to be posting nothing original today and just news, but I love this story and I should remind you again that I am a left wing liberal who believes that welfare recipients have as much right as anyone to attend “Gentlemen’s Clubs” from the LA Times:
Welfare recipients getting taxpayer cash from strip club ATMs
California welfare recipients have been able to get taxpayer cash — meant to feed and clothe their children — from ATM machines at strip clubs across the state, including some well known gentlemen’s cabarets in Los Angeles.
More than $12,000 from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program was dispensed between the start of 2007 and the end of 2009 at clubs including Sam’s Hofbrau, Seventh Veil and Star Strip, according to officials at the Department of Social Services.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has ordered the department to remove the clubs from the official list of businesses where welfare recipients can withdraw benefits using state-issued ATM cards.
