Selling the children as meat to the rich will ensure the continual availability of food while it will also procure a steady flow of income for the parents in their effort of bringing the children into the world. The excerpt shows Swift coming upon a whole new proposal, one that "<em>hath something solid and real, of no expence and little trouble, full in our own power, and whereby we can incur no danger in disobliging England</em>". But all this came after he had "<em>been wearied out for many years with offering vain, idle, visionary thoughts, and at length utterly despairing of success</em>". Thus, Swift admits that after so much effort and time, he had finally arrived to a definitive solution for solving the poverty situation of Ireland, a solution that will be "<em>solid and real</em>".
