  Thank you, Rose Mary, for all of your efforts on behalf of San Antonio's non-profits. It is through examples like you and myriad others, as well as through the Giving Circle efforts you described, that San Antonio's beautiful heart will continue for generations. Thank you!

  Bravo to "Giving Circles." Unfortunately, even the largest private donations are mere rounding errors when contrasted with government largess. Example: Even before Trump's trillion dollar tax give away, the federal government borrowed and spent the equivalent of Warren Buffett's lifetime earnings about every 22 days.
