Kansas to ban welfare recipients from using benefits to pay for cruises, spas, lingerie, psychics

From the "OK, like this is a REAL problem" Department:

According to the Kansas “Successful Families Program“, an eligible family of four in a “high cost/high population” area would be eligible for $497 in cash assistance per month in addition to receiving food stamps.

How many families of four receiving the maximum  $497 could take a cruise for $497?
A trip to the Spa - maybe the woman once a year with the $497 'extra' - doubtful but no problem.
No lingerie? Do you mean the cotton kind or the silk kind - be specific.
Visit a Psychic? Well, you need not be a Psychic to see that isn't going to happen - not with that bad transmission in the clunker they call the family car.
