Let me preface this by saying you have touched upon an aspect of societal obligations that has lost meaning in this nation and hence there is not enough space here to do it justice .
I am very supportive of society's obligation to support those who through no fault of their own truly need support (physical/mentally disabled).
The reality today is that be it a charitable organization or government questionable practices result. government programs all fail and for the obvious reasons
Fraud and abuse is rampant in government programs and the government knows it and ignores it because well after all it is taxpayer money.
I was a big supporter of United Way even back when it was called Community Chest which my mother chaired in our community. However that changed with the revelation of just how much was going to charity and how much to staff especially the president and CEO. We now give only to St Jude
Far too many scams today have damaged the name of "Charitable organization.
Again as to government look what their policy has done, well more to the point not done concerning mental health . The most forgotten people in this nation are those with mental health problems..many of whom live on the streets. Should we even pursue the mishandling of the VA?
As Ronald Reagan so aptly pointed out "the most frightening nine words are , I'm from the government and we're here to help.
