Well, I did indeed get slammed.
I don't think feeding the poor is the responsibility of government, but think it's a great alternative to starvation.
I don't think funding this program is the responsibility of government, but think it's a great alternative to death from AIDS.
There are many, many things - as you pointed out - that the government does that we as a society have deemed are good things. At the state level I think that's great.
I honestly don't know....but are similar programs in CA offered for diabetics and cancer patients and other life threatening diseases?
