"This legislation stops waste, fraud, and abuse within the welfare program," said Rep. Charles Boustany, Jr., a Louisiana Republican.
Although it may help curtail abuse, this legislation doesn't stop waste or fraud. It just helps people like Ed feel better about themselves when they call the fire dept to unlock their front doors. If Welfare Bob gets $100 per week, it costs tax payers $100 per week, regardless of what Bob spends the money on. JC

This is like the Florida welfare/drug test law. Only like 2% of recipients have failed the drug test and the state has a net loss on the program.

I should amend my original post. For every $100 Bob gets, we probably spend $110, when you figure in the cost of administrating the welfare program. If Rep. Charles Boustany, Jr. wants to save us money, he should spend more time figuring out a way to get people off of welfare in the first place, instead of demonizing the poor. JC

Goddamn don't they ever do anything worthwhile? (The govt)
Lets also make sure people who get welfare can't: watch TV, read books, take hot showers, eat nutritionally dense foods, wear clothing, surf the internet, surf the ocean, have pets or use soft toilet paper.

Welfare exists, as I understand it, to provide for subsistance. It does not exist to provide TV, books, internet, surf boards, or pets. However, if someone is making enough off of welfare to visit strip clubs on welfare money, I'm assuming they would also be making enough to eat nutritionally dense foods, wear clothing, or use (reasonably) soft toilet paper. Assuming they chose to do that vice stuffing bills down g-strings. I see absolutely no problem in taking reasonable precautions to prevent my tax dollars from funding young Tiffany's "college education." There are Pell Grants for that...

Placing restrictions on tax payer dollars isn't demonizing anyone, it's goddamn common sense. Seems to me we could do with a few more restrictions on tax payer dollars in this country.
