And that's the key, nord. WE want to help the poor. Every study done shows that the poor are better helped by the people, not the government.
When the government implements it, it's a one-size-fits-all scheme that can have excesses and sad stories. With a charity-based program, it can flex and stretch to ensure people get what they need, when they need it, how they need it, and in the proper amounts. As I've stated many times, I worked in a private food pantry - We met government requirements, got food from private businesses, and distributed the food to the needy. $0 taxpayer dollars were spent on distirbution. $0 was spent on government subsidies, and the program housing is inside a church, which pays for rent, heating, and electricity.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
