Book Description
Black & white print. American Government 3e aligns with the topics and objectives of many government courses. Faculty involved in the project have endeavored to make government workings, issues, debates, and impacts meaningful and memorable to students while maintaining the conceptual coverage and rigor inherent in the subject. With this objective in mind, the content of this textbook has been developed and arranged to provide a logical progression from the fundamental principles of institutional design at the founding, to avenues of political participation, to thorough coverage of the political structures that constitute American government. The book builds upon what students have already learned and emphasizes connections between topics as well as between theory and applications. The goal of each section is to enable students not just to recognize concepts, but to work with them in ways that will be useful in later courses, future careers, and as engaged citizens. In order to help students understand the ways that government, society, and individuals interconnect, the revision includes more examples and details regarding the lived experiences of diverse groups and communities within the United States. The authors and reviewers sought to strike a balance between confronting the negative and harmful elements of American government, history, and current events, while demonstrating progress in overcoming them. In doing so, the approach seeks to provide instructors with ample opportunities to open discussions, extend and update concepts, and drive deeper engagement.

Book Description
Abstract: A categorical or block grant is aFederally-funded, state-administered program, dealing with asingle activity or category of recipients, and operatingunder a set of established rules. The feasibility of usingthis type of grant as an alternative to the current fundingof the Food Stamp Program (FSP) is examined, as pressuresmount for restraining the growth of Federal expenditures forpublic-assistance programs. Use of such a grant for thispurpose will require a suitable formula to assure that fundsare equitably distributed. A review of 5 newly developeddistribution formulas, as well as their effects on programbenefits and on recipients is provided. The objectives forthe conversion to a categorical grant and the applicationcosts associated with each type of formula will guide theselection of the most appropriate formula. However, someStates would receive less funding under any of the proposedformulas. (wz).

Book Description
Excerpt from An Alternative Approach to Food Assistance: Categorical Grants Advocates of a categorical grant program (a State-administered, federally financed program dealing with a single activity or group) cite reduced program costs, elimination of overlap in program administration, and more effective targeting of food stamp benefits as reasons for the conversion. Opponents object to the variability in program design and benefits for the 50 individual States and the possibility of ineffective program management. Converting the fsp to a categorical grant program requires an allocation formula that assures equitable distribution of Federal funds to States. Five funding formulas were developed for this analysis, and the projected appropriations received by an area were compared to the actual funding level in 1979 to determine the impact of each proposed distribution formula.
