How come the liberal entitlement programs are not economically sustainable?
There are great inefficiencies in EVERY single entitlement program passed by liberals in the past like:
– Medicare
– Medicaid
– Social Security
– Welfare
– Food Stamps
– Section 8 housing
@Gee Willy – Even if I wanted to, it’s going to be broke by the time I retire which is in 44 years.
The Expert answers:
The only answer you’re going to get from a Liberal is that “these programs ARE sustainable … If we sustain them by taxing and taxing the rich more and more … Until no one is rich (or no one any longer desires to be rich or seek wealth) … But let’s hope that we’ve fixed the problem before then…”

how to solve the world food shortage in the long term?
This isnt going to happen overnight. Lets say you have 100 years to fix this mess
You can make any policies you want, but they must be sustainable (and not just demanding big nations to pay for all the starving countries)
The Expert answers:
You should read Hardin’s tragedy of the commons article.
Also Malthus has written a bunch on this.
Basically they agree that population growth must stop, all of the worlds current problems stem from growing population and competition for natural resources.
Other possible solutions include better technology, genetically modified foods, insect harvesting (much cheaper source of protein), and rampant deforestation to make more farmland.
Sandy asks…
why is food so expensive EVERYWHERE?
I would understand if the price were going up in some areas alone..but if food prices are going up everywhere, how is that even sustainable, who profits?
and why is this a global problem?
The Expert answers:
Oh you aint seen nothing yet!
Just wait till the floods and the droughts and the other unexpected weather systems upset the apple cart and then everyone will have an excuse to raise the prices of their produce. Once raised, we all know it will never again go DOWN.
I easily spend $400 a week on groceries and that’s just basics. I remember when yogurt was nickels and dimes and now it seems all the food that is good for you has SKYROCKETED and garbage and processed foods are staples in everyone’s fridge.
You would think government would force healthy eating which leads to healthy individuals and less health care costs etc. And endorse that!!! But all they care about is everyone lining their pockets.
I think it’s time we all learn to plot a little garden in our own back yards and grow some of our own food. WAY healthier and a lot cheaper!!!!
As for biofeuls, most of our wheat crops will easily be consumed for those, which is not good. They must find alternate fuels.
You know France has a car that runs on AIR….they are manufacturing it…on AIR!!! Now that we can live with.
Charles asks…
I need a creative name for a whole food bar.?
Open to suggestions. The bar is all natural, made with local produce, and the companies thing is being sustainable. Also, it is handmade in the mountains.

If you can tell me how to transfer them, I will pay 50 points to the winner.
The Expert answers:
Choose a name that evokes the feeling that the consumer will get when they eat the bar. Hopefully something to make their mouth water thinking about it. For instance, I recently tried a fruit spread called Endless Fruit. The name made me excited to try it! Being sustainable and handmade is cool, but does it make your mouth water? Does it tell you how it will feel to be eating the delicious bar?
Laura asks…
ridiculous sign posted in “hippy” health food store?
In my town there is a health food store called “new leaf” that sells only organic, sustainable, earth-friendly foods and I love their products. However, I read a sign posted in one of the aisles that read “we do not have cameras in this store; everybody should have access to quality, earth-friendly foods”. I’m sorry, but I don’t care how “liberal/hippyish/etc” a store is, are they out of their minds?
The Expert answers:
It is a “hippy” health food store. Do you really need to ask?
