Maybe Kansas saw a problem with cruise ships in their data.
But Kansas is only doing what the FedGov mandated to all states and Kansas is actually behind the ball because this was supposed to have been done by the end of 2014.
And yes, welfare is now a middle class service folks.
Politicians who failed elementary school arithmetic should resign. Sure, those welfare recipients can go on a $9,000 cruise if they become homeless & give up eating!

I think the issue should be more on whether the welfare recipient actually qualifies for the welfare or not. Or if fraud has been committed. And act accordingly.
If he/she does qualify, then wish him/her a happy cruise. (But the government should concentrate on re-evaluating the system on qualification criteria.)
Furthermore, closely related to this issue is the matter of disability claims. I think much more "losses" are incurred due to disability frauds than to welfare recipients going on cruises.
Many poor people got that way by buying what they want and then begging for what they need. That habit usually cannot be changed.
Evidently, complete freedom is just more than some people can handle.
Spoken like a true confused Mississippian Where did you get this idea? And how do people believe the myth that people on welfare are dripping with diamonds, driving Corvettes, and buying yachts every other week? It's just not true. More often than not, they're barely scraping because they are working at Walmart or Mickey Ds. This legislation is ridiculous. Cruise ships? If they were going to legislate spending, why not regulate an expensive item, like iPhones, that they purchase more frequently and make them buy a cheaper substitute?
Was there a spate of welfare spending on cruise ships? I did not know.
I wouldn't be surprised. California passed a similar restriction a few years ago at casinos in Vegas.

Total nonsense
