You’re not entirely wrong, but you’re quite misguided. Personal accountability has to matter, but a society that lets its children starve isn’t a society worth preservation.

I’m saying this as one of those people who would vote Republican if they had opted for Mitt Romney back in the day.

Kids deserve to be fed. There’s no condition to that, ever. If a kid is going hungry and I have a way to fix that I’ll do it. Do I think government is the right way, or even one that’s effective? They’re clearly not. But if it’ll feed those kids one more day I’ll gladly devote our entire war budget to do it, and I’d even eat a tax increase as long as I know that’s where it’s going.
