The problem with your thinking is that the citizens who had nothing to do with what choices the government made are, in some cases, literally freezing to death and have no access to clean drinking water. Do you believe an elderly person with no gas or wood fireplace and who has no other access to heat has to suffer for days on end due to the state’s decisions regarding energy sources? Those without family close enough to help care for them are to be subject to these same consequences? I still would want citizens of this country, who through no control of their own and due to government allotments of funds, to not suffer needlessly and die. These citizens, most of whom are hard working people or retirees, shouldn’t be victims of a government not functioning as it should, and I have no problems with my tax dollars assisting them. Still, I respect anyone here with a different opinion.
