This article traces the changing terrain of the food stamp program in the pivotal decade of the 1970s. In 1969, President Richard Nixon promised to put an end to hunger in America, “for all time.” However, in the fifteen years following this announcement, policymakers erected boundaries around the scope of public food welfare programs. In this article, the author highlights key continuities between earlier, modest attempts at program reform under Presidents Nixon, Ford, and Carter and the later Reagan-era assault on welfare spending of the early 1980s.

从紧缩到剥夺权利：1969 年至 1984 年美国食品券的转变

本文追溯了 20 世纪 70 年代关键十年中食品券计划的变化情况。1969 年，理查德·尼克松总统承诺“永远”消除美国的饥饿现象。然而，在此公告发布后的 15 年里，政策制定者围绕公共食品福利计划的范围划定了界限。在这篇文章中，作者强调了尼克松、福特和卡特总统早期温和的计划改革尝试与后来的里根时代 80 年代初期对福利支出的攻击之间的关键连续性。
