Churches and private charities are better because there is no beurocracy wasting half the money. If it's a government operation it needs an office, a committee, five thousand forms in triplicate. The Churches and charities are better at getting the money to the person in need.
If the economy fails the government won't have any money either.

Churches and Companies can certainly do it better but they are self-governed institutions that aren't beholden to those they are helping. They offer assistance out of self-interrest, either the advancement of their faith or creed or developing a commercial relationship with the poor. Our Government as inefficient as it is works for us and it is charged with protecting and providing for US citizens so it must care for the poor.

That is how it should be. The government shouldn't be handing money out to people constantly. People should be able to choose who and what they give to. We are usually pretty good supporters of each other (ie. look how much we privately gave to Katrina victims, tsunami victims, etc. heck, we even give our blood and our organs) Some things are better off in the Gov. hands like welfare for instance, but for the most part I would love to see our taxes cut in half and we give that money on our own to the things that we feel need or deserve our money.

Assuming most of the poor are able bodied, they should just be allowed to take care of themselves.
For example, if there's land just sitting there not being used, they should be allowed to occupy it and use it to grow food, like what's being done by Brazil's Landless Workers' Movement - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landless_Workers_Movement
If the working poor isn't getting a fair shake from their employers at the bargaining table, they should be allowed to kick out the CEO and run the company democratically themselves, like what's being done in Argentina's recovered factories - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovered_factories

If the economy fails, who will pay the taxes that the government gives to the poor? DUH!
It is not about efficiency, it is about freedom. When the government wastes my money I have no choice but to keep giving it to them (taxes). If I choose to give my money to a church and they waste it, then I have the FREEDOM to give it to a different church. Freedom and competition, it works every time.
Government: root word is govern, which means to control or oppress. If you want the government to rule your life like a king, that's fine, but let me keep my freedom.

Absolutely! The government is not designed to take care of the poor.

The churches don't have to run the country. They have more time to help out.

Try to understand this ;
Congress votes $1.00 for welfare
Federal , State , Local , BURRO-CRAZIES , take their wages , expences ,ect , off the top.
The poor get $0.23 .
