From the Daily News:
Welfare checks could no longer go for beer, booze and babes under a bill that passed the New York state Senate on Tuesday.
The bill would bar welfare cash withdrawals at liquor stores and strip clubs, and would penalize recipients caught blowing support checks on sin and vice with the loss of benefits for a month or more.
The feds have ordered states to crack down on welfare waste, fraud and abuse by February or lose 5% of their federal public assistance funding.

So, big deal, they will withdraw the cash someplace else and spend it on booze, sex and gambling...
I agree. this is mere window dressing.
where are the real jobs? oh you've given them all to illegal immigrants who work off the books?
So, they will just classify the strippers as "Strip Steak". If politicians can play with classifications, than why can't their constituents? They all once swam in the same toilet bowl, didn't they?
Albany big wigs must be upset that their major constituents will be losing the conveniences they enjoyed doing sex, drugs and boozing with their entitlements! They still get free cell phones and service!
