The National Food Security Bill

A lot of people have criticized the UPA government for the populist Food Security Bill and how it will drain the economy and screw everyone.

But for a moment, think of what it means to a country like India, with its millions of poor and hungry citizens. The promise that no one will go hungry, and that the government will ensure food for all. The law attempts to provide 5 Kg of very subsidized food per person per month, for almost two thirds of India's 1.2 billion people!

Imagine, if this was really achieved.. what an admirable feat it will be!
