California welfare cards can be used in many casino ATMs
Times review finds that in more than half of the state's casinos and gaming rooms, welfare recipients can get cash from state-issued EBT cards. Officials say they're moving to block such transactions.

The LA Times Story

This kind of stuff really irritates me. I have (mostly) no problem with people receiving welfare who need it, but abuses like this just make me sick. I am sure the majority of the people on welfare don't do this kind of thing (and other abuses), but unfortunately, this is all that most people hear about and draw incorrect conclusions.
