But should we deny govermment assistance to the temporarily needy?

I'm reminded of that awesome quote of President Reagan (RIP!) ....

"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'"

Constitutionally, the only thing I could support is some sort of budget item to fund faith-based temporary assistance programs in the states. This is the role of family, friends and community. Not government.

I absolutely agree.
