This is the American version of what Daniel Ortega did when Sandanistas took over Nicaragrua in 79. First thing they did was plow up all the coffee and tobacco fields to plant beans, so that the peoples would have plenty of what they need, you know- beans.

By plowing up all the things they could sell on the world market and buy all the beans they could possibly want, they, in effect killed the dreaded golden goose that layed the gold that would have been their source of another dreaded thing- capital.

Kind of reminds me of the mother that gave her son the money to buy food and he comes back with a hand full of beans, and following her not so enthusiastic reaction, the boy points out- “but these are magical beans!!”

Make what you want of that, but childe ubhamas will make us all sacrifice a lot of capital just so that we can keep climbing that magic bean stalk to all those goodies at the top- which seems particularly silly when you consider that people who need health care aren’t going to like what they find at the top, especially after that long queue in front of the magic beanstalk.
