Private charity cannot compensate for the Federal Funding of Programs that will allow All Americans to ... THRIVE ... and not just survive!

The US tried the private charity route and it led to things like The Coal Wars

This is only true if you believe that peoples lives are at the mercy of state and federal governments. What the government giveth, the government can take away (or ruin with bad policies). Charity is always the better option. Always.
