Why is it the government’s responsibility to fund what should be a charity? There is a great Davey Crockett speech: "Not yours to give".
Crockett talks about people in need, and how decent people should help the needy to the extent they can. But he makes it clear that politicians picking the pockets of strangers to "generously" donate money to pet causes is not OK. The money is theirs to give.

Yes, that is exactly what I was alluding to. I almost put the words “It’s not theirs to give” in the post that you responded to.
