Excerpt from Bonus Food Stamps and Cash Income Supplements: Their Effectiveness in Expanding Demand for FoodBonus food-stamps yield income as well as food benefits to recipients even though all stamps are spent for food. The form of the benefits varies depending on the amount a family would spend for food in the absence of food stamps. To the extent that normal food expenditures exceed the cost of stamps, the family may substitute foods purchased with bonus stamps for foods which otherwise would have been bought with family dollars, freeing these funds for discretionary expenditures. Bonus stamp dollars not subject to this substitution process are automatically committed to expanding demand for food.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
