#Non-profits need to prepare to bail out the federal government

My first career was with a major voluntary health organization (17 years.)   

Then as  a business owner and defense contractor I experienced what the federal government does well and where it falls short.  I respect those who serve in elected, enlisted or civilian employment positions within the government, let's be clear about that!    

With the ever increasing federal debt, it looks like the government needs help providing a safety net for the least among us.  But wait, didn't that used to be the role of non-profits, looking after those who needed a hand up?   

There are three unique sectors that serve our society, government, business, and non-profit volunteer organizations.  Now is the time for non-profits, supported by the business sector, to bail out the federal government by assuming full responsibility for the least among us.  Uncle Sugar has run out of money.   Have faith, we did it once we can do it again!
