“Books were more popular than food stamps.”
I’m 66 and we did not have food stamps back then. The government only gave them basic food items and nothing else......period!
There is no way that this “author” lived back then and he only plagiarized the writing of someone else.
The food stamp program was in existence in the 1960s and ‘70s. The Food Stamp Act of 1964 was the beginning of the modern age of federal food supplement benefits dissemination, and in the early ‘70s it was expanded.
