		<description><![CDATA[ **Written by Doug Powers Before the payoff, here&#8217;s a brief set-up : Florida&#8217;s poor can use food stamps to buy staples like milk, vegetables, fruits and meat. But they can also use them to buy sweets like cakes, cookies and Jell-O and snack foods like chips, something a state senator wants stopped. Sen. Ronda Storms, R-Valrico, also wants to limit other welfare funds, known as Temporary Assistance For Needy Families, from being used at ATMs in casinos and strip clubs and anywhere out of state. The bill comes after reports that the debit cards welfare recipients now receive were used in those places, as well as locations in Las Vegas and the Virgin Islands in a small percentage of cases, but the state does not track what items were purchased. The bill recently passed a committee. A companion bill in the state House companion is being considered by a subcommittee. You&#8217;d think the food police would be thrilled. If there&#8217;s anything they should get behind, it&#8217;s an initiative designed to encourage lower income people to avoid unhealthy eats&#8230; right? But instead, one Democrat gives us our chuckle of the day by denouncing (albeit selectively) the notion of food police &#8212; and maybe even things like health care mandates. Get a load of this : But critics say the government shouldn&#8217;t dictate what people eat . &#8220;What I choose to ingest even though I may be on food stamps, that&#8217;s at my discretion. I don&#8217;t need government telling me what I can and cannot purchase ,&#8221; said Rep. Gwyndolen Clarke-Reed, a Pompano Beach Democrat who voted in committee against the bill (SB 1658). She said the bill is demeaning and invasive and she worries the education campaign would imply to &#8220;minorities and low-income folks that they&#8217;re not intelligent enough to make selections on the foods they want.&#8221; How many calories are burned by doubling over in laughter for several minutes? Maybe this is part of the &#8220;Let&#8217;s Move&#8221; program and people are being tricked into exercising. It wouldn&#8217;t be the first time . **Written by Doug Powers Twitter @ThePowersThatBe ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ **Written by Doug Powers During the clamor to pass an extension of the payroll tax cut, President Obama asked &#8220;What does $40 mean to you?&#8221; His opponents of the way the extension was handled might now be able to counter with, &#8220;What does $9,500 mean to you ?&#8221; (CBS News) Just before Christmas, American workers got a rare gift from Washington politicians &#8211; the current payroll tax cut would be extended for two more months. At the time, both President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner lauded the move to avoid a tax increase for millions of working Americans. But there&#8217;s something the politicians weren&#8217;t bragging about &#8211; the fact that they&#8217;re paying for the two-month tax cut with what has turned into a brand new fee on home buyers. The new fee is a minimum of one-tenth of 1 percent on Fannie Mae- and Freddie Mac-backed loans, and is likely to go much higher. It will be imposed for the next 10 years on most mortgages and refinancings and it lasts for the life of the loan. For every $200,000, it amounts to an extra $15 dollars a month. It&#8217;s bad news for Patty Anderson, who&#8217;s buying a home in Virginia. Anderson will save a couple hundred dollars from having her payroll tax cut extended but her mortgage broker told her the new fee would cost her almost $9,500. The $35.7 billion collected in fees won&#8217;t go into the Social Security fund to replace the lost payroll tax. It goes to the general treasury where Congress can spend it however they please . Is this outlined in the Homeowners Bill of Rights ? For now, file this under &#8220;robbing Peter for decades to pay Peter for a couple of months&#8221;: **Written by Doug Powers Twitter @ThePowersThatBe ]]></description>
