Arizona lawmakers look to restrict spending by welfare recipients - Phoenix Business Journal:
Hubby and I talked about a Law I would make on Planet Weyrcat the other day... one Hubby said would never pass because it was too fascist, too controlling by a government. This... is that law. I seriously ranted about it last week!! And here it is!!
A. A person shall not receive assistance or cash assistance under this Title if the person is found:
1. In possession of, consuming or purchasing alcoholic beverages, tobacco products or illegal drugs.
2. With a cellular phone if the cellular phone is not the only phone in the person’s home.
3. With a cellular phone contract that includes more than basic phone service.
4. Purchasing an automobile that is worth more than five thousand dollars.
5. Purchasing a television that is worth more than three hundred dollars.
6. With a cable television contract that provides more than basic cable television service.
Thirteen Republican legislators signed on to the bill, arguing that residents shouldn’t be spending on certain items while on the dole. Democrats say the bill is an overreach of government, dictating behavior to those in need.
Weyrcat says: "Dictating behavior to those in need"?? If you have money to buy beer and cigarettes, you have money to buy milk and bread; you're just doing it wrong. Why should I support YOUR spawn, so you can be irresponsible. You want my government food stamps, you play along. Savvy?
On another note, seems my Blogger was hacked today by. My latest entry was a HUGE list of software with prices and links back to their site. Asshats.
