This is probably threadjacking (if it is, please delete/move this post, Mods), but what else could the govt. do "here at home" to help people? Are there not already programs to provide money, food, and shelter to dirt-poor people? WIC vouchers, food stamps, welfare, low-income housing, Salvation Army, unemployment pay, etc. Go here (http://12.46.245.173/cfda/cfda.html) if you want to take a look at the LONG list of programs the govt. has implemented.

Besides standing on the corner and handing out wads of 100-dollar bills, what do you think our leaders should do? Lower the interest rate to 0.01%? Regulate the price of all products? Allow people below a certain income to take what they want without paying?
