I'm not sure that he would do anything. All these things existed in abundance while He walked on Earth. Yet he did not try to reform the government or start any social programs. He was more interested in changed hearts and offering salvation to those held captive by the law.
I agree, W Cayote.
What would Jesus do? What did He do at His first coming? He brought us salvation and preached the Kingdom to come.
What will He do when He returns? He will rule with a rod of iron.
What should we be doing? Witnessing and spreading the Good News. And yes, also, feeding and caring for our brothers and sisters. But we won't be changing this world in a hurry. We know how it turns out.
