Healthcare, Education: Two Reasons to Worry About America's Future

"free market" haha that's funny. One of the reason's for all the fat people is subsidies for corn. The subsidies make nutrition-poor foods filled with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). The subsidies also make other "better-for-you" foods more expensive having less land to grow on because corn is grown on the land to make more Uncle Sugar money (pun intended). So the already-dumbed down populace can't afford better foods to eat, because their jobs suck because they don't have an education, so they buy the food they can afford which makes them fat, which then lowers job expectations because who really wants to hire fat people, etc.
The solution would be to stop giving subsidies for food and let the "free market" sort things out. Of course ADM...er, I mean, the senators from a lot of big flat states would not allow that to happen.
As far as public education problem, the teacher's unions need to be broken somehow (not sure how that could be done). Does anybody else get tenure and summer's off for their jobs? I know I don't. Teachers continually complain about not being paid enough. Well, that's because of the summer off and tenure. If the dead-wood could get fired easier like the rest of us and worked the whole year (because parents could pay more to the school instead of having to pay for day-care for the summer), then they would be better compensated for making a better product. In this case a better educated student.
