    Food and shelter are NOT luxuries. If you can die without something it is a NECESSITY, not a luxury. And anyone who is heartless and callous enough to simply let people die when those people can be saved by something that there is enough of to go around, like food, well, I see why the world's economy has collapsed. Hint: it wasn't socialism or liberalism, it was the failure of capitalism.

    The failure of capitalists like YOU. Funny how the people who cause the world's misery never suffer themselves. Your attitude is typical of someone who has never had to do without. You can be forgiven your ignorance. I hope that if you ever learn the truth it won't be too painful for you.

    it is pretty ridiculous to keep budgets stagnant or to lower them and then expect the same output or better.

    Better not say that too loud or the private sector managers might get some ideas...

    If the private sector managers (especially top level, CEO and boards, etc) had gotten those ideas the world's economy might not have collapsed.

    You should read your own sig.

    If we devoted all of our resourced trying to accomplish such a hopeless goal we would never progress at all.

    Your straw man is on fire, son.

    If you want to help someone, use your own resources and convince others to do the same.

    Don't steal from other people in order to achieve your social goals.
