Nonprofits Demand Congressional Bailout
Capital Research Center ^ | December 17, 2008 | Matthew Vadum

Independent Sector, a coalition of liberal charities and foundations, wants to cash in on Washington's bailout fever, the Chronicle of Philanthropy reports.

“There’s simply not enough cash to respond to the amount of the needs,” said Diana Aviv, president of the group. “The demand is much greater and the dollars that are secured from traditional sources are shrinking.”

Call it charity welfare. If you don't dig deeply enough into your pockets for charity, the government will force you to, or at least that's what Aviv wants.

Tough “stuff.” Do what the rest of us do, reduce your spending and tighten your budget.

All parody, satire and sarcasm threads must be shut down. They can't keep ahead of reality.

Will they change the name to "Dependent Sector"?
