Unhelpful Help

I really like Rudy Carrasco's comments.

I also like what the Rev. Nunes said about work, responsibility, and dignity. From what I’ve heard, the Salvation Army actually requires something of the people they help. As Jesus healed people and said “sin no more”, so the Salvation Army requires that one must stay clean(no drug usage or alcohol) in order to receive sustenance, residence, financial help, etc.

Some interesting stats I’ve heard—from my SIL(a very reliable source on all things):
$25k a year is spent per student in US schools, but kids still need more textbooks because theirs are falling apart. Where is all of that $ going!?
By 1930 91% of the poor in the U.S. were taken care of by private charities but for some reason(Power maybe!?) the govt still felt the need to step in.
I'd be interested to know exactly what those poverty expenditures, mentioned in the vid, are?
