周末去买菜,几个超市逛下来花了一百多元,突然想到此论坛贴的一百元能干什么,我也把一百美元能够买到的食品在这晒晒,
单位:磅 1磅=0.9斤
1.一袋大米(25磅):20.99元
2.一桶食用油(4.73升):7.79元
3.一盒芒果(8个):6.99元
4.一盒橙子 13磅):8.99元
5.一桶酱油(1.89 升):4.79元
6.零食(36小袋):10.79元
7.果汁(36小盒):8.59元
8.野生阿拉斯加三文鱼(2.5磅):15.99元
9.猪排骨(两大块共8.45磅):18.26元
以上总共103.18元
再看看低收入人群政府补助的食品劵,一个没有任何收入的三口之家一个月能拿到的政府食物补助是526美元,以下引自美国农业部官方网站:
How Much Could I Receive?
Allotments for households in the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia.
The amount of benefits the household gets is called an allotment. The net monthly income of the household is multiplied by .3, and the result is subtracted from the maximum allotment for the household size to find the households allotment. This is because SNAP households are expected to spend about 30 percent of their resources on food.
(October 2010 through September 2011)
People in Household Maximum Monthly Allotment
1 $ 200
2 $ 367
3 $ 526
4 $ 668
5 $ 793
6 $ 952
7 $ 1,052
8 $ 1,202
Each additional person... $ 150
我们可以从中看出什么?在美国,对于低收入的人群,政府的食物补贴足够他们过上温饱生活,而在中国,政府对低收入人群的补贴太少,太少。而三公消费又太多太多。
