>>Libs talk the talk, but I never see them in the soup kithcens or the food banks. These are staffed by the elderly and the religious. WHERE ARE THE LIBERALS?
Don't you know...THAT'S THE GOVERNMENT'S JOB!
I work for a non-profit org (part of a Christian university) that helps improve health care for people all over the world at about 20% of the pay I could make elsewhere. I'm a Christian conservative as are most of my co-workers. So please don't make judgements about me and my kind. We have similar ideals for ending suffering and poverty, we just have different ideas for achieving them.
As for funding programs like yours (which I think are awesome) and Special Education, have you seen the pie charts of where education money actually goes? Get rid of the teacher's and educational employees unions and half of the administrative positions, and institute a voucher system, and you'll see real changes. More money to the gov't (the liberal's mantra) is not the answer.
What would you suggest Super, another "war on poverty"? We all know how successful that bit of well-intentioned social engineering was.
