Should a government that's [financially] bankrupt continue to provide these services they obviously cannot afford? Or should they just cut programs that affects the OTHER guy? If 4-H becomes unaffordable to government, and private enterprise can't or won't step up to the plate and fund it, who SHOULD pay for it? Perhaps the participants, thru increased user fees?
Don't get me wrong; I was a 4-H member, and I can tell you it's a beneficial program to a lot of kids...teaches them valuable principles, and keeps a lot of kids out of trouble the might otherwise get into. My mom has been a 4-H leader for 40 years, an unpaid volunteer who's donated a lot more than just her time to the program, so I know all about the benefits of helping others.
But why should TAXPAYERS fund it, rather than the folks who use the program and benefit from it? Especially in times of budget troubles, why should states continue to fund programs they can't afford?
Nobody wants to pay more taxes to fund these programs, but nobody wants the programs cut, either. In effect, EVERYBODY wants a free ride, and nobody wants to pay. But unless SOMEBODY decides to pay, it's ALL gonna end.
