Seriously, have you seen the usage fees charged at a casino or strip club ATM? Talk about government waste!

It was done back in the day when they gave you a paper voucher that was only redeemable at food stores, then they went ahead and turned it into a credit card.
But... I remember using food stamps and WIC credits and other such government programs as a kid and trading them in for cash, $.65 on the $1. It is still going to be just as easy to trade the credit card for cash
