Federal Dollars Return Home
The next time you find yourself engaged in- discussing the belabored subject of how much tax you are paying, consider the following good news: Last year the Federal Government distributed 55.5 million pounds of USDA donated foods in Virginia. The value of that donation exceeded $46.5 million dollars. Those are Federal tax dollars that have returned to Virginia to supply quality foods to schools, institutions, elderly feeding programs, day care centers, summer camps and social service agencies. This represented a daily assisted feeding of 570,000 Virginians.
Here’s more good news: In supplying USDA donated foods to needy Virginians, the Federal Government purchased $22.4 million dollars worth of food products from Virginia firms. In other words, almost half of the tax dollars used to feed Virginia’s school children and needy were spent buying Virginia products. Even more encouraging is the amount of Virginia commodities being purchased for distribution in 1985. Almost 3.5 million dollars in turkey products has already been purchased during the first months of the new fiscal year. Other popular Virginia food commodities being purchased by the Federal Government are: apple products, canned tomatoes, flour and peanut butter.
So, feel good Virginians; not only are your tax dollars providing a much needed service supplying needy individuals with nutritious meals, those same Federal tax dollars are indirectly generating jobs and boosting the economy of Virginia.
