I will take a break for this diary from commenting on legal funding/lawsuit lending, and the US Chamber of Commerce's efforts to deny poor people access to it for another bill coming out of the Alabama State Senate. While Alabama State Senators and the Alabama General Assembly are being prodded by the US Chamber of Commerce and the Business Counsel of Alabama to eliminate a product serving the less fortunate, they first have decided to take the fun out of welfare.
I am speaking of a bill that just passed the Alabama Senate that will deny welfare recipients from consoling themselves of the comforts of alcohol, tobacco, gambling and strippers. So much for the pursuit of happiness...
Do not worry. The NRA is strong enough in Alabama not to deny them from using their welfare "walking around money" on ammunition or guns.
