Why does the government need to pay for middle class children's health care? Again, why can't that be done through voluntary charity?
Why do liberals feel so strongly that they must forcibly take money from taxpayers to do good deed? Why are liberals more willing to lobby the government to fund programs than to go out and raise funds for charitable foundations that use money more efficiently? Why are they afraid of the oversight and contributor involvement of charitable foundations?
Why does anyone think the $500 hammer guys are the best ones to manage charity?
Below is a button for a liberal video, and I don't particularly agree with the impulse to spend taxpayer dollars on, for instance, feeding the world's hungry. I would rather see charity dollars do that good deed. One of the problems I have with all this "but we're the richest nation in the world, we can afford everything" mentality is that these programs get passed in bumper years, and then we still have to pay them in lean years.
However, that said, the video is well done. It is voiced by Ben of Ben & Jerry's, and he uses Oreo cookies to explain the Federal budget. It is a perfect simplification of the budget items he needs to make his point, and it is accessible even for people who don't understand all that figurin'. No real math here - just cookies to visually explain the budget. I don't endorse the recommendations, but I do endorse this as "anything that gets people thinking and talking about the government's budget is good."
