every time we identify some problem in society, the most common response is:

"the gov't should fix that"

and that's the problem.

charity used to be done privately, nice old ladies would run the charity house, they'd screen those seeking handouts, and gently help or guide people in a useful direction.

not anymore.

now Uncle Sam is the first place people go looking for charity. but those running the show have no interest in you besides making their day short and their work load light. it's just a dead end job to them. and they can't say no to bums, they have to follow the rules. you pass the sniff test, you get the money.

there is no easy answer. if there was, we'd have found it by now.
