Kansas bans cruises for welfare recipients

In welfare crackdown Kansas bans cruises for the poor

Here’s a partial list of what is now off limits for TANF spending in Kansas:
-- Casinos
--Jewelry stores
-- Massage parlors
-- Body piercing parlors
-- Lingerie shops
-- Vapor cigarette stores
-- Fortune-telling businesses
-- Video arcades
-- Swimming pools
-- Cruise ships
-- Theme parks
-- Strip clubs
-- Concert tickets
-- Lottery tickets
I hope to find many wise people here who support this law like me.
Welfare recipients should be banned from buying jet airplanes and super-cars as well. What the hell are people thinking? Is this the best they can do with their time?
If you don't work properly you must not relax with ease.

How can this be enforced?

By penalizing establishments that allow the use of EBT cards, now you could withdraw the cash and purchase the items without the use of the card directly....stupid legislatures never seem to think things through, what with all the lobbyist and jerk off time they spend...

Pretty easy to enforce. All they'd have to do is imbed a bomb in the card that would go off if a poor person tries to buy something on the list.

That would have a twofold benefit: not only would it stop that person from buying a "luxury" item, it would kill them on the spot, thus shrinking the welfare rolls.

Win/Win

Did you defect to the right? I mean those fuckers want everyone to be crucified if they fail...

Yeah, probably shouldn't have said that. But, betcha they already thought of it.

You think this is what politicians should be spending time on? Do you actually think this is small government?

. Like you hate BIG government? If you insist that the government should be giving out welfare payments, then I consider it Is government saving me money.

How does it save you money? Its government trying to influence behavior. Last I checked that is big government. Amazing republicans can't even recognize that now.

I agree. Why does somebody sitting on their ass at home need a cruise vacation? Of course, nitwit liberals will think we are being cruel.

First off, there is no evidence presented showing anyone has ever done that...

Well yabut ... they might.

The party of small government wants to pass more and more laws and more invasive laws because it would protect us all from those poor people.

We should be grateful the pubs are protecting corporate welfare of the 1%.

That is so cold and heartless. And, it's not just "blacks" that get government assistance. Obviously you have a serious problem. In my opinion, you need counseling and some type of social skills class. Just curious here, are you also again foreign aid, senseless deadly costly wars, the shameful ridiculous perks given to members of Congress, no-bid government contracts, pork spending, subsidies to rich farmers and big oil, unnecessary government travel, lavish White House parties and vacations, bailouts of Wall Street and the financials, wasteful military spending, the care and support of illegal immigrants, bribes paid to North Korea and Iran, supplying weapons to drug lords and terrorists, building mosques on foreign soil, and such wasteful spending as the "Fence" along our southern border? Or, are you just against helping the needy American citizens?

Let me splain to you about the poor in this country

They live in luxury, eat lobster and filet mignon and drive Escalades. I saw a poor person at the gas station last week and he was filling his car with high test....what? Regular is not good enough for you?
They have those fancy microwave ovens and VCRs and some even have them cell phones. I hear poor people even get to watch color TV! Black and White was good enough for me when I grew up....should be good enough for poor people

Kansas knows how to treat its poor....no cruises for you

Obviously you have no idea as to what economic shape this country is in. So, please explain to me what we'll do with all of those people once we cut off their assistance? What will we do with the children, the elderly, the handicapped, the disabled, and the mentally challenged?" Do you have a plan for them once we cut them off assistance programs? Or, do you believe that we should just allow the children to starve, allow the elderly to die from lack of care, allow the mentally challenged to die, and all the others that really need help? What are to do with them? Again, you seriously need counseling and a class in social skills.

I'm thinking public shaming is probably the best solution

The poor have it too easy living in the lap of luxury with color TV and VCRs

They walk down the street, you can't even tell who the poor people are. They should have to wear tattered clothes or maybe orange jumpsuits like the convicts wear. This way, the poor people will say....I don't like being poor, maybe I'll get a job

Pathetic .... simply pathetic ............. So cruel and cold hearted........... Again, what do we do with all of them? What about the children? What do you suggest we do with the little children after we cut off their assistance?

I'm thinking outside the box here.....

But maybe we can do something like Trick or Treat. Have the poor children knock on your door and do a little dance.....sing a little song and we can give them a bologna sammich

That's enough from you! You're an idiot and a waste of time. Bet you've heard that more than once.
Permanent Ignore.

 

[Nosmo King]

Are you sure the farmer with a 35K truck and several farm machines that cost 100k each can't afford to take a tour??? Ha!

Couldn't part of his subsidy check go to pay for a cruise?

 

[Muhammed]

Given that they tend to be financially destitute, I seriously doubt that any significant number of welfare recipients really care about the prices of luxury cruises.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Damn.

and right when I was about to book that luxury cruise down the Arkansas river, too!

Kansas Cruise Ship

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Good start Kansas !

 

[rightwinger]

Look

We don't want these deadbeats living in the lap of luxury. Why should they have more than I do?

I would not consider any of those things you mentioned to be "luxury"...

​

You don't think an umbrella is a luxury?

Only rich people should have umbrellas. That way everybody knows they are rich. See a guy walking down the street with an umbrella you can say.....Wow.....look at that rich guy!

He can even hire a poor person to hold the umbrella for him when it rains....win/win

Obviously, you have serious issues. I hope that you're supervised. Have you always been cold hearted and without sympathy for the less fortunate?

Like all conservatives I EARNED everything I got in life. From the time I was suckling on my mothers breast to the time I made my first million....I EARNED it. Nobody ever gave me anything

Uh huh. Sure you did. That's why you were complaining about poor people owning VCRs, and complaining about poor people having things "you don't have".

​

Unlike those freeloaders on welfare who own VCRs and microwave ovens and STILL demand a government handout.....I have EARNED everything I have in life

I started out selling bologna sandwiches door to door to earn enough money to pay for Catholic School. There, I would bribe the nuns with my bologna money.

You've missed the mark by a mile. But, pat yourself on the back, you did what was expected.

By the time I was 12, I had cornered the bologna market in my neighborhood

The truly sad thing here is that it was necessary to make the law in the first place.

What's sad is you didn't bother to read the article, realize that the law is in fact unnecessary, and avoid sounding foolish and ignorant.
