Bush certainly meant well by this initiative, but I have always wondered whether it was a good idea.
Better to cut taxes, and leave people with more money that they can donate directly to their churches.
The other problem, of course, is that government tends to put strings on this kind of “aid.”
I wonder how many mosques have been built by this faith-based initiative?
ANY non-profit can apply for a grant. Wrights church, although disgusting spiritually, did a lot of community work and those government filings would have been the basis for the grants to Trinity.
