re: #258 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

Yes, “trickle down” has never worked anywhere, not even in the US. I suspect people were desperate for rubles to buy food and other necessities (if they could even get them) when they gave up those “vouchers”. I don’t think the average working (or non-working) person would have trusted “vouchers” to be worth more later than in that present.
