Feds Want to Replace Food Stamps w/'Harvest Box'

The Soviet Union was the first country to try to centralize the distribution of goods through government. That system lasted all of 75 years, failing miserably in its attempt to match free market economies in the creation of wealth. Now the White House seems to think it can learn something from the Soviets.

Buried in the White House's 2019 budget is an idea so naïve and poorly argued that it can only have been thought of by a harried USDA bureaucrat under pressure by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to come up with something – anything – that could be used to justify claims of savings.
