Billions plundered could have been used to fund food security project

"Food for every ones table and every homes"









The country could have invested the flood control plunder into food security project.    The state should look for the future of food for the masses  Instead what do the leaders do-  enrich the people.   The goal is not the money or wealth but productivity.  (as the  Scriptures have said)   Having more money in possession is not the goal, but to make money produce more food. Money or gold or any currency are only medium of exchange -  to purchase cap ex to better our lives.  

Currency are debased and lose value:  but having tracts of land planted to rice and corn, having cattle etc is a better alternative now compared to having stacks of cash in your house.  They cant be eaten.
