I believe restraining the federal government will tend to bring morality back to citizens. The federal government currently makes it easy to engage in immoral behavior with all of the unconstitutional 'welfare' and 'aid'.
Idle hands are the devil's workshop, and the government made many idle hands with the unconstitutional war on poverty.

You make a good point. A out of control welfare state does tend to encourage immoral behavior.
I don’t mean to suggest that we shouldn’t try to roll back unconstitutional overreaches by government. I’m all for that. I just think our priority needs to shift more toward changing the culture and changing people’s hearts, to whatever extent we can do that.
