In a recent blog post, my AEI colleague Benjamin Zycher took issue with a letter to the editor I published in the Wall Street Journal, in which I agreed with columnist Allysia Finley’s argument to place further restrictions on what Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) dollars can be used to purchase. My point was simple: SNAP’s legislative intent is to improve nutrition among low-income households and therefore, non-nutritious products should not be included in the program.

AbstractThe Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a means-tested transfer program that is available to all households that meet the eligibility criteria. Therefore, SNAP is also a countercyclical program, meaning that the size of the program increases during recessionary periods and decreases during expansionary periods. A large literature quantifies the magnitude of the relationship between the business cycle and SNAP’s caseload.

This author seems to have missed the entire point of the Corinth/Winship paper. Perhaps a second read would have been useful? A more generous CTC isn’t to blame for the tax code’s marriage penalties @NiskanenCenter https://t.co/M8j0FIDw77
