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.

I believe the issue Mr. Boustany is trying to address is: if they have enough disposable cash to visit strip clubs with welfare money, what in the hell are they doing on welfare in the first place? Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be a simple matter of removing from the program those who aren't really in need. I'm guessing the next best thing is to make it more difficult to abuse the program.
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.
