I'm also wary of giving to charity seeing as there are tons of charities out there that use very little of their resources towards the cause, like Susan G Komen for instance.

Also, divvying up the pie for local gov'ts is too much responsibility but figuring out who out of 360,000,000 people is right down their alley?
Set up standards for the local governments to file requests, let them fight the federal bureaucracy and let the people who need help have local branches that suit their population. NYC needs a heck of a lot different set up then Helena, Wyoming
Not everything makes sense to federalize it. Again, the fed bureaucracy can set basic standards of service, and have their bureaucratic fun but let state and local elected officials and charities do the work at the person to person level.
