A sweeping crime law modeled on the RICO acts would be a useful start.

That's an increase of 24% in the past two years. The number of food-stamp recipients shot up from 20.9 million in October 1990 to 24.2 million a year later. The total cost of these two programs alone is more than $40 billion a year...
