Food Stamps: Who Gets Them and What D O They Accomplish?
نویسنده
چکیده
Food assistance to the needy in this country was initiated in legislation with the interesting title "The Potato Control Act of 1935." Nobody thought its primary aim was to help the poor. Rather, it was to dispose of surplus commodities in order to support farm prices-that is, to help the farmers. This initial objective is why the program was made the responsibility of the Department of Agriculture, and why its descendent is still administered by that department today-rather than the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare,as one might expect of a program that aids the poor.
