New Opportunites Inc is a "private non profit corportion" located in CT. It operates almost exclusively on Federal grants. Hey, if it a welfare arm of the govt, call it that. It is not private. http://www.newoppinc.org/
I did some volenteer work in one of their facilites. It was sad. The people there were sullen, and coming to the trough. Sort of like their souls were not there. This program takes away the incentive to take care of them selves. They have been robbed of their independence. Men who won't take care of themselves, or do not have to, are going against their nature of being providers.
What is the solution? That is a big queston. I would start by weaning off of handouts. It will take generations to reverse this trend. Charity through government is not charity. It comes at a price, a big price.
I am sure the steps to helping people really get better lives will become more clear in the next few years. This blog may be a bit gripey, but needs to illustrate waste and propose solutions. I welcome your comments esp on the latter.
