Some sort of super-economy safety net could be in order, if the screams for equality can be ignored.
Efforts to improve on that could be assigned to private charities. St. John’s Church might have a deal better than Caesar’s, but it’s not forced on anyone, it is up to the church, and the church can choose its own terms like no abortion, etc.
It’s unfortunate because govt handouts are so corrosive to private charity.
