Dear Bob:
   My answers to your questions are (1) NO!), (2) NO!, and (3) NO!. Ronald 
Reagan proved that the private sector will not fill the gaps left by 
reductions in people support programs. The least capable among the total 
population require a humanitarian effort by the entire population to provide 
an income floor that will allow them to live in some semblance of dignity. 
Some people are already forced to choose between and among the essentials of 
life. As unskilled jobs have disappeared, more and more people are earning 
less than required to establish a high enough minimum SS allowance. 
Charitable organizations are fine and I support a number ofd them. But, they 
can't begin to meet the needs of the several million folks who are 
marginalized by our profit driven economy. Thanks for listening.
