Hunger is an easy problem to fix. Just give every American $200 a month in food stamps - that is for rich people and that is for poor people - everybody gets their $200. If they swap that money for drugs to hell with them let them starve!
I remember forty five years ago, you could make a down payment on a brand new car using food stamps as the down payment.
That $200 would then become $2 in buying power. Raise the financial floor raises inflation.
People getting a lot less than that in food stamps like to buy bottled water, and pour the contents out, returning the bottles for 10 cents each. To buy beer, usually. There were a couple if times a guy was willing to sell me the full bottles for a dime each.
