Poor? On Assistance? No fun for you!

In the latest move to make being poor more miserable than it already is, the state of Kansas has banned the use of welfare benefits for going to the movies, the swimming pool or even buying underwear if it could be characterized as "lingerie." No lace trimmed undies for you, young woman. Why? According to one legislator, because being on assistance means "you're sort of less than other people." Yup, she said that. Less than other people. Because apparently being poor is a moral issue. You just wouldn't be poor if you were 'good' rather than.....poor. Here's the story.
