“[The right] may never bring prayer back to schools, but it has rescued all manner of rightwing economic nostrums from history's dustbins. Having rolled back the landmark economic reforms of the sixties (the war on poverty) and those of the thirties (labor law, agricultural price supports, banking regulation), its leaders now turn their guns on the accomplishments of the earliest years of progressivism (Woodrow Wilson's estate tax; Theodore Roosevelt's anti-trust measures).

“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. And this danger will only grow if a surging global population isn't matched by surging food production. 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
