Well, a federal sting last year found that one Canarsie grocer was recording huge phony purchases on EBT cards, giving customers 70 percent in cash and pocketing the rest as a “commission.”

That one scam alone defrauded taxpayers of nearly $1 million over two years.

Last summer, the state Senate passed a bill by Sen. Thomas Libous (R-Binghamton) that would ban welfare spending on liquor, cigarettes, casinos, lottery tickets and adult entertainment.

It would also ban strip clubs and liquor stores from having ATMs that accept EBTs on premises.

But Libous’ bill has been stalled in Speaker Sheldon Silver’s Assembly — with no legislative daylight in sight.

Apart from the obvious fraud implications for taxpayers, there’s an even bigger money issue at stake.

Under a new federal law, states that fail to enact legislation like Libous’ by next year will lose 5% of their welfare funding.

In New York’s case, that’s $120 million a year — no small piece of change.

So Silver needs to agree to move the Libous bill in his house.

And Gov. Cuomo would do well to empanel one of his patented study commissions to get to the bottom of all those curious bodega transactions.

New York has an obligation to the poor — but it doesn’t include buying them drinks in strip clubs.
