what’s to disagree about?
they went from charitable orgs to (primarily funded) government orgs.

they sold their souls, so they could feel good, supposedly doing charity, while making taxpayers foot the bill.

I wasn’t happy decades ago when I realized what was going on. It shocked me how Christian churches and orgs all seemed to be getting govt monies for things. They compromised themselves to feel good rather than uncomfortable as Christ said we would feel following Him, doing things He wants us to with God’s help, and not by our own power or worldly ways (govt $)

And we have GW Bush to thank for this development.

His administration had the idea that charitable organizations could dole out government charity at lower cost than government itself could.

And they did until the government loaded on all of the bureaucratic paperwork that follows government money. Next came the professional class employees to make sure that the government requirements were met.

Soon enough charitable organizations are government organizations in every sense except name.
