While we are teaching Afghanis how to have democracy, 101 million Americans cannot feed themselves. In history, most people depended others to grow their food, and they traded services to eat. What is new, less than 100 years old, is the idea that all food comes from the government anyway, so one need not work to eat. This has resulted in a misallocation of resources that simply cannot be undone through the democratic process. No one who believes he is entitled to free food will ever vote that he should work to eat.
This is just one of very many market distortions that will end up badly. There will be a clearing of the decks, and if one happens to survive that, one better be able to provide some value in the marketplace if one wishes to thrive apres deluge.

The State needs to get the people hooked on free food when they are young. This is mind-boggling that this is even happening and no one sees anything wrong with it - it creates a mindset of dependency and that that the State can replace private individuals and family for support.
Wow - 101 million people can't feed themselves, that's like, A THIRD of the population of the U.S. (about 300 million people total). Just peachy. I'm assuming these people aren't the go-getter, make-something-of-yourself, be productive, entrepreneur types. Just another indication that America is losing its cultural capital of entrepreneurship. People view these programs as an entitlement that they paid into that they are justified to get, in perpetuity apparently.
