Report: Milk Could Skyrocket To $8 A Gallon If Farm Bill Not Passed

67. Loved your post.

I think you've got the right idea, but I'm not sure how we'd ever have a way to realistically implement it. The farmers growing the food, the companies that process it, the butchers, the factories, the bakeries, breweries... the list goes on and on. Why would they create food supplies if they did not receive reward for it? Why do the work if they aren't going to get paid? Most people are not going to take on the very difficult physical tasks of farming or food preparation if they're not getting rewarded for it.

I'm all for ditching our currency, but it requires coming up with an alternate plan that can be realistically expected to work. Providing these things to all at no cost? Sounds like a beautiful dream, but I do not think it will happen. Greed is universal. Selfishness is universal. Compassion, generosity, and charity are far more rare. I wish we could live in the world you speak of, but I do not think that most people are capable of that kind of humanity and nobility.
