- SlightlyLeftPad 8mo agoI suppose you’re right. Now that you mention it, are food stamps similarly inflationary to having 1000 dollars deposited into their bank account?
- FarmerPotato 8mo agoI doubt they make any inflation in the sense "more dollars chasing fewer goods" SNAP etc makes the base-load revenue of many rural grocery stores. The food is going to be produced, and scale is better. I work with disabled SNAP recipients and it's never been easy. $1000 is um, high...
- rbanffy 8mo ago> not just 1000 dollars on their bank account. Conditional cash transfer programs have been extremely successful in other countries. Brazil’s Bolsa Família is one I am more familiar with and it’s studied as a success reference. The conditional part relies in part on universal healthcare, which might complicate things a bit in the US.
