Bless Andrew's heart for trying on this one.
When I saw a similar socialism vs. free market post yesterday I had a similar reaction as Andrew. Though I still think the federal government should have a role in helping with something so tragic, it is the idea of limited federal government spending / free market proponents that private citizens would step in if federal funding was removed. This post goes to prove that.
I do understand this thread so I can leave it at that. . .but it is wild to think that so many Americans believe that in an America without federal welfare that those with money would happily just watch everyone else suffer instead of supporting private organizations making a difference. This would seem to prove otherwise.
