We should make rational spending choices
Regarding "Scarce dollars, hard choices and the value of a life" [Opinion, Dec. 20], thank you for the excellent coverage of a very difficult topic that few people seem to understand. There is little that we can apply to problem-solving besides time and money. Both are limited, and choices should be wisely made.
My experience is that people make their best decisions in their for-profit business activities. Their decisions about nonprofit activities and support are a distant second. And the worst choices of all are made by politicians.
You did a great job of applying rationality and common sense to an issue that affects a great number of important decisions.
