This is just begging the question: why does it become everyone’s business? Once you give someone something, it’s theirs (in the most simplistic sense). If there are social welfare programs that are doling out cash to low income families, we shouldn’t care how that money is spent, but whether or not the money alleviates the issues we are trying to eliminate. How and what that money is spent on is irrelevant as long as the problems are dealt with. Fortunately, we don’t need to know what the money is spent on to measure whether or not the program is working.
