Federal money cannot go to any program that has any element of religion involved, like the Gospel Rescue Mission. President Bush tried to have faith based programs, but they never got off the ground.
It’s better that the Feds get out of this business; most of the money is wasted on bureaucracy and never reaches the people it is intended for.
Welfare programs have busted up families. Liberalism is a disaster for our country in so many ways.
Why not? Federal money goes to programs like these all the time and quite successfully.
President Bush tried to have faith based programs, but they never got off the ground.
Who told you this?
The Faith Based Initiatives programs have been up and running ever since Bush introduced them.
"Competitive Federal grants to faith-based organizations (FBOs) increased for the third straight year in FY2005. More than $2.1 billion in grants were awarded to religious organizations in FY2005 by seven federal agencies. This is up from last year (FY04) when $2.004 billion in grants were awarded to faith-based groups across the same agencies. "
