HOW GENEROUS OF THEM: Missouri Taxpayers Fund Out-of-State Welfare. “In December 2013, the state auditor reported 366 instances where welfare beneficiaries had received Missouri EBT cards but had accessed their cumulative $461,000 in benefits exclusively out-of-state for three months or more. These included one beneficiary who accessed $1,191 over 153 days spent in the Virgin Islands.”

Is it even proper to use the word “welfare” for this? This isn’t subsistence living, but luxury.
