But every time Obama or the UN says they are going to do something it NEVER turns out like they say its going to....
Lets look at past history of these two before we jump on board with the Rah Rahs and lauding them as saviors.....

This isn't about fixing people, it appears that this is about resource allocation, income and wealth disparity and other issues.
Can you not agree that these issues need to be addressed?

There are many things that can be done, and I'm glad that we may begin that process. Again, we have to wait and see what happens.

Sounds good to me.
Coming together and working out a plan to combat hunger, poverty and other problems we face......count me in.
Never? That's quite an absolute statement. Can you provide examples?
I don't believe anyone is lauding anyone else as a savior. That's absurd to even suggest. I will say that I like the premise and it's obvious that some changes need to be made. While I may like the idea, I can still wait for more info to come out before I completely support it.

This is the standard operating procedure we currently have, only it benefits the wealthy.
The current system is designed to benefit the wealthy and has been for a very long time, why not adjust the system to benefit more people??
If we had a fairer system that benefits more of the people you might not be needed at the soup kitchen.
So you are both OK with the idea "mandatory purchases" and guaranteed minimum welfare? Because that's the only way to eradicate "poverty" in our current economic system

I think you're looking in to this too much and should wait to see what is proposed before you go to far the "it can't be done" rabbit hole.
For example, we could stop corporations from taking resource-rich lands from people in other nations. That would allow them to control the resource and profit for their communities.
We could also stop subsidizing ethanol that we use to dilute our gasoline, and instead send those resources to nations that need the food. And we could stop these senseless wars that destroy lives, communities and their lands.
We have options, but to say that there is only one way to go about doing something is very shortsighted. Again, all I'm saying is let's see what they propose. It's not like we have much of a choice other than to wait.
Not going to play your game of splitting hairs.......just like in other threads........
you know exactly what I mean and I stand by my statements........
Anyone with a lick of sense can look at the UNs records and see this......
you just like to argue...
Do as you wish and ill keep my skepticism...........at least some of us learn from past mistakes.......
