I don't quite get how getting over the dust bowl famine means that poverty is solved. Obesity doesn't really imply that the poor are now just applying all their affluence wrongly and could easily buy houses if they just would get their hands off the Mickey D, so it's all their fault if that isn't the case.
"Self inflicted" is really over-simplifying things and sounds like something out of Rand (or misunderstood Nietzsche).
