Quote #2 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Poverty and The State
“The OEO [Office of Economic Opportunity] goes in more for consumer education programs, of which there were 75 in 1966. Home economists and other specialists tell women on welfare how to pick out a good cut of meat or the bargain in a pound of apples. Sometimes they take an experiment buying trip. Sometimes they bake a cake. In this way the women on welfare learn how to pretend they are middle-class housewives -- but they're not middle-class housewives; they have hardly any money, and the price of food is not coming down.”
