Actually, mark, individuals in the USA are more generous and have greater ability to perceive the needs of those who suffer than the government ever has or will. When the government doesn’t interfere, the people who suffer are better cared for by “we the people”. We are local, we can offer face to face assistance as friends and family. We the people always solve the problems while the government just makes a big mess that ends in a fraud and incompetence investigation. We the People are smart and perceptive and the government is dumb, dishonest, incompetent, with inflated ego and a total inability to perceive reality.
