Prices outstrip stamp benefits in food aid plan
Washington AP reports that grocery costs rise faster than food stamp benefits for families on aid. A typical four person family can buy $150 monthly in stamps but needs $157.20 to feed, as the Agriculture Department notes. The Ford administration plans a new 30 percent net income charge starting March 1, aiming to cut federal costs by at least 215 million this fiscal year.
