Sounds like a good system but could we do this for literally millions of people across the country?
Yes, I think we could. The beauty of it was that it was self sustaining. The beneficiaries were also the workers. There was almost no labor cost to running the system. The Mormons were known for there "Deseret Industries" which produced most of the food involved, and even canned their own goods.
The only thing that would stop states from doing the same are the greedy public employee unions.
I like it, its similar to the food pantry system we had when I was in the Military.
Was this system for the poor?
That, and the fact that government agencies find the idea of making recipients of government handouts work for them so totally abhorrent.
