MORE FOOD STAMP TROUBLE
On top of the 1975 scandal of food stamp “ripoffs” by
dishonest citizens (estimated to be one out of every six using the
stamps), the Washington (D.C.) Star has now broken the story
(January 4) charging that untold millions of your dollars have
apparently been filched on the distributor level of the food stamp
program. According to Star reporter Michael Satchel, a
"preliminary check” of only 18 food stamp vendors has
uncovered nearly $9 million in undeposited receipts front the sale
of food stamps.
And, since there are 6,700 vendors of food stamps scattered
throughout the country mostly in the big cities the potential
for additional millions of lost dollars is staggering. Reporter
Satchel quotes one Department of Agnculture official as asking
“How much money has vanished'’ And how long has this been
going on? How many millions ot tederal dollars are floating
around in the inner cities'’ What’s it being used for? Has it
financed illegal activities? Why is it only now being uncovered.
All good questions: and we would hope that Secretary ot
Agnculture Karl Butz wastes no time in finding the answers
One question that should be pursued is: should the
Department >f Agnculture be in the welfare business at all? Alter
all, tf D.< v. is supposed to exist for the purpose ol bettering
U.S. produ, 'ion of food, not giving it away. But, since 1969,
wht .• the food stamp program was started by our spendthrift
Congress (“It won’t cost much,” we were assured) the food stamp
progiam has halloo into a $2.6 billion bonanza, which has tied
up o 2,000 D employees in paper-pushing, and which
now >.osts 0 D ■ ». two-thirds of its budget. And that doesn t
count the fr -i an equal amount of administrative costs are
picked up t individual states, which are expected to carry
one ha of the financial load.
Perhaps one solution might be to change the law so that ALL
of the costs of running the food stamp program would be paid by
the individual states. That might not be the best suggestion in the
world, but it itught make it possible for the local taxpayers to
keep a better eye on how their money is being handled - or
mishandled. And we get back to the same question: where, in the
United States Constitution, does it say that Congress has the right
to take money out of your pocket and hand it to someone else,
without the recipient giving something of v^iluejiMetunv^^
