“It's a moral imperative, it's an economic imperative, and it is a security imperative. For we've seen how spikes in food prices can plunge millions into poverty, which, in turn, can spark riots that cost lives, and can lead to instability.

So reducing malnutrition and hunger around the world advances international peace and security - and that includes the national security of the United States.” IfsWorldStatesTurnsGrowsUnitedMoralPovertyMillionsUnited StatesEconomicSecurityDangerCostInternationalHungerPopulationProductionsAround The WorldSparksNational SecurityImperativesReducingRiotPlungeInstabilityMatchedMalnutritionInternational PeacePeace And SecurityFood Production Author:Barack Obama
“No nation ever taxed itself into prosperity. You could afford your house without the government-if it weren't for the government. Character matters; leadership descends from character.

“Poverty is not an accident of, sort of, an economic spreadsheet. Poverty is a crime. There are criminals involved. And those criminals walk the streets as free men. What my music is about, and what - this from the riots in the streets of Greece and Spain to the people's uprisings in Egypt and Libya and Madison is about is holding those people accountable, those who are responsible for subverting the entire global economy and causing so much misery and then laughing about it with their, you know, clinking their champagne glasses on their yachts.” PeopleMenPovertyLaughingEconomyEconomicCrimeMusic IsResponsibleMiseryGreeceRiotGlobal EconomyYacht Author:Tom Morello
