Just think of all the empty buildings in this country and how people could put them to good use if the government would support agricultural applications instead of trying to teach inner-city youth how to flip hamburgers and run a computer. Every town in America has empty, derelict structures which could be successfully converted into chicken coops and provide fresh, healthy meat for the community as a co-op! Think of all the empty lots that you have seen when driving through towns that could be used as community gardens.
If the government would apply 1 percent of the welfare money toward teaching people how to be as self-sufficent as possible think what a wonderful country this COULD be.
