In other words, what atheist say is true. Secular humanism treats life as if it is our only one, so we try to bring the community together and help each other out for no reason, other than, to support the human race. No rewards, no punishment or judgment from a supernatural entity, just caring for our fellow humans because we give a shit. While from a creation view point is you should let them die off, survival of the fittest right? Sounds mighty darwin of you.
That wasn't what I got out of it.
Wolf didn't seem to be condemning all aid.
Just the type of aid in the US, thats subject to abuse & doing nothing to improve the issue of poverty in the long run.

I don't agree it's some grande conspiracy set by Liberals.
More likely, it's just your usual bureaucratic inefficiency.
The optimal alternative would be having the govt distribute food rations directly to the ppl.
Even then, ppl could hypothetically 'barter' food for other things.
It's hard to develop a system thats entirely immune from abuse.

Besides, it's not like there isn't other forms of aid such as govt student aid,
free public education (its not perfect, but it's free)
& relatively affordable public adult education.

You probably shouldn't starve your ppl to death.
However, it's also going a bit too far when you have ppl leeching off the system like the octomom.
There needs to be a more reasonable middle ground somewhere imo.
