Nixon plan shifts food stamps toward poor families
The Agriculture Department sets revised rules to expand aid to the poorest, while excluding hippies and job shy adults. Under new schedules a four person family with 50 to 60 dollars monthly income would pay ten dollars for stamps worth 108 dollars in supermarkets. The plan also requires able-bodied adults to register for and accept available jobs, and requires households to be related. It targets eliminating college student and commune style households and reduces benefits for upper income recipients to curb nonwork use.
