A Recipe for Big Government: “Food Insecurity”
From StosselTV
The government tells us 33 million Americans suffer from food insecurity! Really? 33 million Americans are hungry?
“That’s just not true,” says Rachel Sheffield, a researcher at The Heritage Foundation. “’Food insecure’ adults are more likely to be consuming too many calories rather than too few,”.
The government always tries to create a crisis. “Government programs tend to want to keep themselves going,” says Sheffield. But their handouts harm the very people they are meant to help.
“We’ve spent more on the war on poverty than all the military wars combined in the United States without any success.” The result? Increased dependency on government!
Expanding the welfare system seems to be the government’s main goal. The food insecurity myth and others, like “food desserts,” are debunked in this video.

After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.
Libertarian journalist John Stossel created Stossel TV to explain liberty and free markets to young people.
Prior to Stossel TV he hosted a show on Fox Business and co-anchored ABC’s primetime newsmagazine show, 20/20.
Stossel’s economic programs have been adapted into teaching kits by a non-profit organization, “Stossel in the Classroom.” High school teachers in American public schools now use the videos to help educate their students on economics and economic freedom. They are seen by more than 12 million students every year.
Stossel has received 19 Emmy Awards and has been honored five times for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club. Other honors include the George Polk Award for Outstanding Local Reporting and the George Foster Peabody Award

We Americans take free speech for granted. But if you look around the world, you see why we shouldn’t.
In Britain, you can get arrested for saying things online that police find “offensive.”
In Scotland, misgendering someone can land you in jail for seven years.
Canada may soon pass a law that would punish “advocating genocide” with life in prison.
Now in the U.S., the House of Representatives voted for a bill that would make chants like “from the river to the sea” illegal at universities.
These are bad ideas. Free speech is valuable.
After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.

As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump promised to “drain the swamp.” He didn’t.
Trump made government bigger. He hired new employees, doubled federal spending, and started a bunch of new programs. Now the swamp is bigger.
In our new video, Economist Ed Stringham explains the real way to drain the swamp is to cut the spending that swamp creatures feed on.
After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.
