If there should be any welfare program, it should be run by a private charity, to ensure that the red tape of bureaucracy stays as far out of the picture as possible. Too many welfare programs waste money and don't close loopholes because they think they have a neverending supply of cash from the government; this attitude isn't prevalent in the private sector.
Thats really paring down what government does to less than the minimum.
Governments since the pharoahs have supplied food to the population even rome supplied bread to the masses.
Talking about loopholes lets close all the tax loopholes so we can afford a better welfare system.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
