I would expect the US priority would be giving $33 billion to farmers to aid crop production, and also using those fancy emergency powers to prioritize growth and distribution of grains and feed stock instead of ginseng and canola?
Just food for thought...
Democracy prevents famine. (Amartya Sen) Food shortages would be a sign that the world is nearing the adoption of the China Model.
You no longer live in a constitutional republic either
Legally speaking, our constitution is what defines our country and its government, and the constitution defines a republic, not a democracy. The constitution does not guarantee (or even mention) citizens' rights or privileges to vote. In fact, most citizens had no right to vote for most of our nation's history. The moment they did gain this right was the moment the nation started to fall apart.
However, because our government no longer adheres to its defining document, it could be more accurately said that we live in a failed state. The government is certainly not weak, but the government that the constitution defines is nearly gone, and that makes our constitutional republic a failed state that is occupied by a "democratic" tyranny.
You're not limited to one adjective/noun pair. The truthfulness of the USA being a democratic republic is up for debate, but they have taught that in schools.
