Fox News Channel aired a one-hour program The Great Food Stamps Binge, vegetables preservation which can be roughly translated as "Big spree with food stamps." The program was devoted to exposing abuses in the system of food aid to the needy - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This is a federal program, but its implementation is left to the mercy states. In common parlance it is still referred to as Food Stamps, although food stamps in the late 90s gave way to debit cards EBT.
American government started to provide food aid to the needy in 1939, but in 1964 she received the statutory authority as part of the poverty eradication programs have received grandiloquent name "Great Society." vegetables preservation Under the Law on Food Stamps (Food Stamps Act) has been allocated $ 75 million vegetables preservation to assist 350,000 people in 40 counties and three cities.

These words clearly discerned the second plan: of course, help the needy and all that jazz, but also important that food aid for poor farmers created a guaranteed market for their surplus products. As for the true purpose of a grand war on poverty, according to the architects of the "Great vegetables preservation Society", it is markedly different from the stated purpose.
Ronald Kessler in his book "Inside the White House (Ronald Kessler, vegetables preservation Inside the White House) leads Lyndon Johnson, who in an interview with the two governors on Air Force said: "I will make sure that these chernozho vegetables preservation .. s will vote for Democrats in the next 200 years. " What is easy to conclude that (a) Johnson Institute of noble maidens were not trained, and (b) of their he has not seen the need to dissemble. Ordinary liberal armies could be worn with any number of starry-eyed ideals, but their commanders know what they are doing.

But in this case natural instincts bureaucratic apparatus is reinforced by political motivation: to strengthen the position of the Democratic Party at the expense of enslaving the poor by increasing their dependence on the state.
So no wonder that the Ministry of Agriculture is bending vegetables preservation over backwards trying to expand the program SNAP. However, for everything in this life has to pay, and the American public is paying vegetables preservation for the deeds of their state of rapid moral degradation. Once considered a shame to take riding public assistance.
