This commentary makes the case for returning social programs and support systems to states, towns, churches, and communities who actually know the people they serve. Instead of funneling tax dollars through layers of distant bureaucracy, the vision here is a return to a true republic: strong local institutions, neighbors helping neighbors, and a government that empowers communities instead of overshadowing them. A call to remember that real strength — and real care — starts close to home.
