Would love to see how much Utah residents end up spending on poverty efforts, including donations and taxes and volunteer time. I believe there are inefficiencies in the current system, but by and large poverty reduction costs money. Socially liberal, fiscally conservative may not be feasible when you do the math
- huffmsa 10y agoThey do cost money, but by not lumping all of the programs into a single lumbering bureaucracy, you can get a lot more fast moving and need specific operations running, in this case probably at the parish level.
- TheAdamAndChe 10y agoIt seems to be feasible in Salt Lake City, though. If the community picks up where the government is lacking, the work still gets done and the poorest of our society get the help they need.
- alexanderson 10y agoMy perspective is that the government can operate that way, but the church seems to be the opposite: socially conservative but fiscally liberal. Hence the emphasis on nuclear families as well as giving freely to the poor.
