Do We Really Need A Food Security Bill ?

[SRP]

Food security bill for Poor, Needy and BLOODY LAZY PERSONS (nearly 45-50%). Come to my village and see how the young and not so young persons fetter away there time by playing card games and doing petty grass root politics. Our State Govt. gives them rice @3/- per KG. Why they will work? The persons who have agricultural land cannot find laborers. And then there is 100 days guaranteed work scheme. They take away 200/- per day even without working and with 3/- per kg. rice why one will work? Bloody Politicians, but what can we do?

Some corrections rice 1/- or 2/- per kg. Same here in my village also. People getting lazier day by day. Interesting news is people who have BPL cards half of them are well established.

Sir if you were not Chinese i would have recommended to contest Polls & be the PM

See any television debate and there are enough sane people arguing against this humongous waste of public money, but our political bosses doesn't want to listen to them and the leftist intellectuals ridicule them as corporate stooges.

Too much free aid just leads to a crutch mentality.

Look at the countries in Africa that have been living on free aid for decades.

Have they improved? No. They have just become dependent on the aid.

And what happens, when the donors inevitably can no longer afford to keep giving out free aid? Those who have become dependant on the aid will starve in the millions.

People must be given the opportunities to become productive and create wealth for themselves. This also strengthens the economy as a whole, meaning there is more wealth to go around.

Whereas worsening an already bad Fiscal Deficit (by giving out free everything), just means there will be less wealth to go around in the end.

sadly all above you quoted will be the end results of this bill..

The people I hate at par with Fundamentalists are the elitist leftist intellectuals who didn't have to work for a living but some how knows what the working man needs.

Leftists are themselves a class of fundamentalists.


Watching this food security bill pass has been like watching a slowly approaching economic death.If government upholds this bill to letter, it would consume between 11-30% of gross expected revenue of government (depending on lower estimate of 1.7% gdp or higher one of 3%)

There is going to be a bloodbath in economy.

This bill will boost the election prospect of the current Indian government, though. The poor vote for whoever gives the handout.

In our contempt for the petty politicians, there is the danger of overlooking genuine beneficiaries of the food security bill. But I agree about what is happening in many villages.
