Teapublicans: Too Rich (or Too Stupid) to Use an ATM?

Apparently so: in Kansas, the “Republican” government limited ATM withdrawals by the poor to $25.00 a day. All those reading this blog are doubtless rolling their eyes, facepalming, or otherwise exhibiting disbelief, coupled with disdain and disgust. Because we all know what these dumber-than-a-sack-of-hammers Teapublicans evidently don’t: most ATMs don’t dispense fivers.
The legislature placed a daily cap of $25 on cash withdrawals beginning July 1, which will force beneficiaries to make more frequent trips to the ATM to withdraw money from the debit cards used to pay public assistance benefits.
Since most banking machines are stocked only with $20 bills, the $25 limit is effectively a $20 limit.

Since there’s a fee for every withdrawal, the limit means that some families will get substantially less money. A single mother with two children seeking to withdraw just $200 in cash could incur $30 or more in fees, which is a big chunk of the roughly $400 such a family would receive under the program in Kansas.

Or maybe they’re neither too dumb nor too rich. Maybe these Teavangelicals KNOW how badly this will hurt the poor. Maybe the GOP wrote the legislation to inflict pain and suffering on their own constituents. Teapubbies could be a load of inhumane motherf***ers who get off on mass sadism.

1. Dumb of republicans to do this,

But I would just take 25 dollars at the grocery store and no fees. There are ways to work around this stupid policy. I don't want to say it to loud or they may take that feature alway too.

5. I think even cash back goes by $20s.

3. The GOP hates humanity, they loath it as much as any demon or devil.

I think they want a Hell on Earth type scenario to play out so they can go Rambo on every living thing that crosses their path.

My knee-jerk guess the intra-bank network getting the transaction fees wanted this and lobbied for it. Given a choice, I'll choose greed and self-interest over stupidity in most cases.
