  2. Why not Organic Food, Life Insurance, and Housing Reform too? I say we get the government involved in those high priced areas too! Everyone should have access to Healthy Organic Food, Adequate Housing, and Million Dollar Life Insurance for their loved ones! We can have the government take care of everything for us!!!
