    Do away with welfare and there will be long lines of people wanting to do the jobs that "nobody wants to do".

          At poverty wages. Somehow that part always gets left out.

Now the news media is showing strawberries also insinuating there will be a shortage of them too. We grow strawberries all over the U.S. and as mentioned above we grove avocados here as well. In South Florida we grow the large green pears, not the small wrinkled nearly black ones.

            Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe we can grow most anything here except coffee, tea and bananas mostly because of the lack of land and farms.
            We can grow anything we need, and do without things we can't grow unless we allow floods of illegals into the country.

            I heard that question asked when the Great Society was just a gleam in Lyndon Johnson's eye. We had to pass it "for the children."

            Fifty years later and we have more children living in poverty, being raised in single-parent homes than ever before.

                  Already been suggested almost 300 years ago:

                  A MODEST PROPOSAL FOR PREVENTING THE CHILDREN OF POOR PEOPLE IN IRELAND FROM BEING A BURDEN TO THEIR PARENTS OR COUNTRY, AND FOR MAKING THEM BENEFICIAL TO THE PUBLIC
                  http://www.online-literature.com/swift/947/

                  Alternative suggestion: Bring back the property requirement to vote. You need to have skin in the game before deciding the rules.

                  Or Heinlein's requirement: Only veterans vote.

                    The property ownership requirement would get gamed to death by shell corporations. Only letting veterans vote would mean that the military would become a political enterprise instead of an instrument of national defense.

                      What about only avacado eaters?
