    And Sanchez, I can appreciate the different paths approach. I guess where we differ politically and philosophically is that any movement to allow individuals to solve social ills as opposed to the government is predicated on individuals actually being willing and able to help. And while there's plenty of people willing to help, there's also plenty who don't care about their fellow man. Unless everyone helps, the effort is likely doomed to failure.

    Government is composed of individuals as well.

    Understood. And probably one reason why government has failed in its efforts, too.

    Maybe the issue is not who does it or who pays for it but that a social buy-in is what's required to make things work.

    Profit can be a powerful motivator. Link teacher bonus pay to student performance (and not by standardized tests), tie subsidized landlord rents to tenant evaluations. Give additional tax credits for charitable giving above certain levels. These are just ideas, maybe bad ideas. I don't know. All I know is that the current system is seriously flawed and not serving the interest of the people intended and simply spending more money is not the answer.

    On that last line, I absolutely agree.

  8. Funny. For rich people, spending more money is always the answer.
