A not-so-funny thing happened when California started looking around at where its state-issued welfare debit cards were being used.
Millions of dollars’ worth of withdrawals were taking place at strip clubs and casinos in California – and on cruise ships around the world. The U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam were among the exciting vacation destinations where the cards were used for withdrawals or even accepted as payment for “services.”
Well, California has now halted those abuses of its welfare cards.
We’re glad to hear it.
But with apparently nobody in California government “minding the store,” we admit we are not terribly surprised that such brazen misuse of funds meant for “the poor” was taking place. And we are not the least bit surprised that California is tens of billions of dollars in debt.
