If we wanted to be done with grants in their entirety, I'd back that as a thing 100%. But as long as grants exist, and if we believe it's a good route to solve some problems, you can't really limit who has access to grants as long as they apply and meet qualifications.
I'd be fine with 0 federal grants. You think that's realistic? Heck, even states have to apply and receive grants as a part of certain transportation bills.
Sorry about the delayed response. Got busy with other stuff.
After thinking about it some more, the whole government grant system should be reformed. Grants should be given only to organizations or individuals where there is a potential ROI for the tax payers.
Something that will create a new revenue stream or grow jobs.
A grant should be looked upon like an individual making an investment with hope of, but no guarantee of, an actual return, like venture capital.

Definitely going to play devil's advocate here....
Who's revenue stream? The governments? Look at this current issue, a bunch of faith-based groups see a potential revenue stream, so they support illegal immigration policies and reform, to allow grants to exist for illegal immigration, so they can get them.
A business, or the government would do the same exact thing.
True statements:
1. Solving a problem is not the only, nor main stream of revenue, finding a way to make that problem a revenue stream is often far more efficient at revenue creation.
2. Revenue Streams are not the end-all be-all do good mechanism in the world, and like anything else - they can be corrupted. Heavily.
3. Some problems require solutions that are not bound by revenue targets.
And I say this as a staunch conservative. I think one of the biggest issues with conservatives is the blind allegiance to "capitalism," as the thing that will solve every ill.
Planned Obsolescence is a very smart way to build revenue stream. Is that a morally good thing to do?

The Conference of Bishops is corrupt and compromised just like Leo the Antichrist.

Power and control.
Ton of Catholic Priests that couldn’t care.
All about their ceremony and tradition.
The Pedo victims still haven’t been paid. A fight with the church to be honest and remorseful failed.
Hypocrisy at its finest.

First of all they are illegals not refugees. But if the churches are getting grants for "resettlement".......why are they in Panama???
They are no different than coyotes being paid for with US tax dollars. Its shameful, and sinful.

Yes, faith-based organizations—including major U.S. denominations and international religious agencies with U.S. ties—actively work in Panama to assist migrants and refugees traversing or stranded along the dangerous Darién Gap route heading toward the United States

Separation of Church and State?
So our Constitution is a sinful document.

The USA is going to be destroyed during The Great Tribulation. There will be no "United States of America" when Jesus Returns and Reigns Supreme.
We can see the distant signs of what it going to happen to our country. Even so, we are obligated to fight for its survival, even though we know that we cannot win that fight because IMHO the USA is destined by Bible Prophecy to be utterly destroyed.
But we will be guilty of very great Sin if we do nothing for its survival.
