Do we need to review how a bill becomes a law? "The proposal is unlikely to be taken up by the Senate..." -- nm - mara Feb 7, 14:42 3
- Do we need to review how a bill becomes law? ", but it could be folded into a broader legislative package, currently in the works" - ty97 Feb 7, 14:46 1
  - "will no longer be able to" would imply it's a law, no? -- nm - mara Feb 7, 14:47
- ~I'm just a bill and I am sitting on the steps of capital hill~ -- nm - School House Rock Feb 7, 14:44
This seems like it should be a bi-partisan thing. -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 14:40 8
- Ahhh, but there's the rub..the bill is trying to ban using ATMs that those location to get cash. - ty97 Feb 7, 14:42 7
  - And if you use an ATM down the street, you can then walk to the strip club. It's mainly an effort to create negative feelings about welfare. -- nm - mara Feb 7, 14:44 1
    - In an election year? You don't say! -- nm - con_carne Feb 7, 14:44
  - I read the story last night. Also the Welfare cards are being used in places like on cruise ships in Hawaii. -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 14:43 4
    - Yeah, I read that happens all the time. - ty97 Feb 7, 14:45 3
      - Or just make the cards work for stupid things like food and shelter. -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 14:46 2
        
        Yes! Find cost-effective ways that will actually do that and I'm with you! -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 14:49 1
        
        It's all electronic!!! Have the cards only work for food, and find out where the people live and electronically pay the landlord. - Bacon Feb 7, 14:52
Waits for the "I am outraged" post from Pixie. Or, "Jesus would let the poor go to strip clubs" - Bacon Feb 7, 14:40 5
- It's demeaning that we don't subsidize our poor to demean our strippers! - Dr.Vermin Feb 7, 14:46
- keep waiting -- nm - pixie malone Feb 7, 14:42 3
  - Oh come on!! You mean there is actually a line you won't cross? -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 14:43 2
    - simmer down. there will be plenty more chances for you to blame poor people for their circumstances -- nm - pixie malone Feb 7, 14:44 1
      - Well if the strippers would come over and cook the kids dinner so they are fed we could agree on something. -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 14:45
