Mine is that since the US is turning more and and more into a scam economy, the problem then becomes that they'll eventually run out of other people's money.

They could argue that those are just "Anglo style bread lines",
where the conservatives are starving its citizens by default

and the large farm owners refusing to do so and create a standoff,
while keeping all the food to themselves.
