12. OK, so you're okay with people starving

Everyone wants to dramatically raise wages in agriculture, but no one wants to explain how you do this and keep food affordable. Explain how we avoid the laws of economics on this one. We have full employment in America. So the choice is

1. use foreign labor to fill the void
2. dramatically raise wages in agriculture and shift workers from other fields (leaving worker shortages in those fields)
3. import our food and make the dinner table the equivalent of our gas tank - a point of vulnerability for our nation's securities.
