social programs have never been an extension of helping neighbors.
Thats always been good thing to do between neighbors and folks voluntarily. Live in a good place with good folks and it comes natural.
Social programs are Robin Hood so to speak, they don't ask me if I want to contribute to the pool. And I don't get to pick who gets it or how much or what requirements like drug testing, work centers etc... are involved.
Social programs COULD have been a decent thing. But have not been for so many years now. Not only in Alaska, but in the US as a whole.
