Quote of the Day

The latter part of a wise person's life is occupied with 
curing the follies, prejudices and false opinions they contracted earlier.

Stossel on Southern Poverty Law Center

Why The U.S. Can’t Solve Hunger

This tends to be more of a Statist approach to the issue. I want to emphasize some key points not being addressed, like zoning laws (e.g., food deserts), health or other regulations hampering charitable efforts, agricultural policies like market orders/quotas or import restrictions (e.g., sugar) that artificially restrict supplies and inflate prices, and decentralization of government food assistance (e.g., block grants) to state/local authorities. I could go on and on about dysfunctional policies like how Trump's NAFTA and FDA regulations blocked imports during the recent infant formula shortage,
