The casino thing is the most concerning.  Casino's are a huge employer of entry level/minimum wage employees.  They hire many many people who are transitioning from TANF to employment.  Making it impossible for those people to withdraw money for bus fare home, or buy a meal if they've been offered an extra shift, is a perfect example of conservative posturing at the expense of people's employment.

What?  It makes sense.

And don't forget the harm to the poor casino owner.  Some casino owners have gone out of business; it isn't easy work owning your own casino.

And they provide a service that is legal in many states.

Plus many are on Native American land - meaning most of the workers are people of color that are going to get hurt by this![/quote]

Fine.  The workers can plan in advance and use their own hard-earned money to pay for bus fare or meals.
Using tax-payer funded money at a casino is ridiculous. 
Prostitutes are legal in Vegas - do you want these people using their cards to pay for prostitutes on the tax payer’s dime?
Just because it is “legal” doesn’t mean we need to foot the bill for it. [/quote]
