Should Charities be allowed to get money from the proposed Bailout plan?

[Breaker]

I read a blurb in the WSJ that a coalition of about 600 non-profits are going to lobby Congress to get a large chunk of the proposed bailout money. I am not sure that I am ok with this, the entire point of a non-profit is that they are funded by concerned citizens on a specific matter. I mean I understand that the government granted some high risk non-profit groups money to upgrade against terrorist attacks, like Jewish groups, but this is getting absolutely insane. What do you guys think?

Not those non-profit organizations... A chunk of that remaining TARP money intended for banks should go to food banks, the salvation army... places like that

Best charity name ever is the "United Negro Nephew Fund" from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Classic
