I dodn't know love was throwing money at a problem.
I would think that God, according to the teachings in the bible, would prefer that the government stay out of welfare and instead leave it to people to take the time and energy to actually care bout their neighbors and not just give them money, but help them. Maybe watch a kid on a day they needed or teach them something you know, give them a ride etc...
Its been a while since i read the bible, but isn't it the source of the story "give a man some fish and you feed him for the day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for life" I would say American welfare equates to giving a man fish instead of teaching him to fish.
