well, this is the reality that is threatening us, right in our face. we've already made the decision, as a society, to do that very thing.
food stamps helps a lot of people, both consumers and farmers (producers).
and all the in-betweens.
but, what else to do? we have tons of productivity, either here or globally. so, the distribution of goods & services is challenge number one. in a true market economy, user pays, right?
but, in our half-socialized economy, the gov't re-distributes wealth for the benefit of all, using the police state (police power), to effectuate said re-distribution.
but, if there's a better method, we don't hear much about it, since we're a democracy at least in part.
there's plenty to be accomplished, but what's the incentive if one can get by w/free medical, education, housing, food, and other services. why, there's no incentive. and most people aren't all that crazy. and so much needed work goes undone/unaccomplished because there's no set-works that allow it to occur.
we've got the unemployed/untrained bottled up in the ghettos, both rural and urban. they receive their sustenance/subsistance from the feds. we workers/owners/investors pay the bill, and grimace. sure'ly there's a better way?
