I have to disagree.

Plenty of formerly charitable organizations have succumbed to the lure of government funding and over time become addicted to those funds.

Once great Catholic Charities will be lucky to survive cuts in government support.

Catholic Charities has been engaged in child trafficking, bringing children across the border, busing them across the country, and handing them off to anybody who shows up.

Carlos Arrelano witnessed it and was an unwitting participant.

Once great Catholic Charities that have become specialists in performing an end around our immigration laws deserve to have that luck run out. Hopefully with a great deal of anguish and tears.

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 $)

Which demonstrates why government should not fund private charities.
