Money thrown at problem lands as dollar bills on strip club stage:
Quote:
There were virtually no restrictions on the use of the cards and so the definition of "necessities" acquired some latitude. Louis Vuitton did a roaring trade in handbags in the Houston area and a good deal was dropped, as it were, at some of the city’s finest adult entertainment establishments.
Interviewed by a reporter for the local TV station, Abby over at Baby Dolls said she had seen many clients using their debit cards. She had nothing but praise for this exercise in government largesse. "A lot of customers have been coming in from Louisiana and they’ve been real happy about the $1.75 beers and they’re really nice." It was only fair, she added that they should get a little publicly funded help. "You lost your whole house, then, why not?" she said. "You might want some beer in a strip club. There are a lot of guys out there that like to do that."
