We need to get the federal government out of the charity business. The states and local communities need to be the nexus for any such program if there is to be any governmental intervention. Best if private charities did the work. There would be individual accountability and responsibility being promoted again. Hard to make people take charge of their lives when they are given free largess.

Letting the feds take charge is using a nuke to swat a fly.

I couldn’t agree more!

That said, state and local governments are government.
It really boils down to who we are. Helping others is more important to us as a society than it is the individuals we help.
