    I was totally onboard until they said adult entertainment was also banned. Someone has to put those girls through school. Might as well be welfare checks.

    Christ.

    This law had a very defined purpose: getting dumbfucks to base opinions on non-issues. Apparently, you're their target audience. Here's how it went down:

    Congressman 1: Hey, we are paid by the anti-welfare lobby so let's make a law that bans using welfare for tattoos and jewelry.
    Congressman 2: but there aren't really any statistics that show this is a problem. Besides people can just cash out their EBT anyways.
    C 1: Right, but if we make a law about it, and send it over to Fox and Limbaugh, and Hannity to hype it up, our dumbfuck constituency who gets their information from those places will think its a major problem and post about it on message boards.
    C 2: Ahhh, you're smart.
    C 1: Nah, people are just fucking dumb.

    For other examples please refer to counties who have passed Anti-Sharia Law bills

    That might be true, but jewelry and tats are non-essential, and really lingerie is also. I see plenty of people with 23 tats who probably have been on and off some form of assistance too. Unemployment is like 6.6% here and apparently 4.7% in Suckattle (rofl!). If they're of sound body and mind, let them work for money to buy those things.

    Louisiana should ban any politico whose name sounds like Jingles or Jangles from holding public office. It's an insult to the Bo dancing man in warn-out shoes.

    A few years back California found out that in counties with casinos fully HALF of the welfare checks issued in those counties were cashed at, you guessed it, casinos. Kind of the same kind of deal. Isn't welfare supposed to pay for food, clothing, shelter, and shit like that?

    I think people should be able to use 1/3 of their welfare checks at casinos but not 1/2, that is just ridiculous.
    Whoosh?

    How about for use on 21's and low pro's on their Pontiac Lebarons and other cheap American cars (don't forget the 18" speakers and various electronics that are valued much higher than the blue book of said auto's), or baggy jeans and"jordans" and Mary J and codeine syrup.

    Put some responsibility and accountability on welfare recipients purchase records. And no more increases for additional tax spenders. You get x amount of money. If You take a load in your giner diner and spit out Jerome the 3rd, you better learn to manage money because taxpayers aren't paying for more nail jobs and hair extentions
