A detailed Summary of pssc

President Bush has decided that he wants to give government money to faith based groups so they can play an even more active part in in helping with social welfare. Bush intends to let these faith based groups compete for ten billion dollars giving these programs the money that they need to offer better services for drug treatment, domestic violence, homeless shelters soup kitchens, and after school programs.

Well it is different due to the amount of money, and because of the behaviors of some faith based groups in recent years. The article "Bush Plans To loosen Charity" points out that faith based groups do not have a very good track record in some parts of the country. The question that comes from this new plan is are the religious groups capable of handling all the problems that they have to deal with. Another problem which has already been discussed is how these faith based groups use their resources as a tool to lure people in need to follow their beliefs and teachings. Some of these groups have been rep!
