You can make the case for that, but a disorderly transition to that kind of system will ensure that some people starve to death before the new system is in place.

I don't have any of the purported 'savings' in my pocket right now and I don't suppose I'll see them any time soon, so I don't have any extra money. Quite the contrary, what with the stock market tanking.

why do that when laws have already been passed about sending that money abroad?

id much rather add better transparency and audits to the money already being spent through the government

well, that didn't work (waiting for audits and transparency) for 20+ years, so we're doing it this way now. Donate to causes you believe in, don't rely on the government to do good. do it yourself.

The person you help abroad today is the person not going to take your stuff tomorrow.

Even the notoriously woke Roman Emperors would hand out grain to the crowd.

That's an awful lot of rowing to come take our "grain."

and if this concerns you, donate.
