US throws away as much as half its food produce
Why are people saying there is not enough space in USA to grow food? There is more than enough food to feed Americans many times over. Do they mean for exporting and feeding the pets.

The US has an abundance of food. Many humans live where the land doesnāt support growing enough food to feed the people. They also love where thereās not enough clean water. Those people are reproducing at a fast rate. Thatās not sustainable.
Commentary pieceā¦
I would honestly support it if it eliminated all other social welfare programs, was cost neutral, and indexed to inflation to control future costsā¦ That would never happen though. Thereās no way the administrators of the 30+ existing programs would give up the power theyāve fought for over the years. Itās similar to getting rid of tax deductions and having a lower flat tax rate. Itās probably good for the country. Itād save a ton of money in compliance costs. However, special interest groups will never give up their power and let it happen.
Social programs need to be tied to work, something like the Earned Income Tax Credit. We canāt just pay people to sit on their butt playing video games all day.

Most programs donāt require work if you have children. Everyone is so paranoid of kids suffering that theyāll never cutoff someone with kids. They have done work requirements for people without kids. States that do it usually see at least a 50% drop in people without kids applying for benefits.

You mean when the economy grows, unemployment declines, and poverty declines? Iām so shocked. I donāt get why anyone would advocate for tax and redistribution. We know high taxes kill economic growth. We should minimize tax to maximize growth, since maximizing growth will reduce poverty.
