Considering that more money gets to those who need it when the US government manages it than when, say, a megachurch does, yes, I do think it's more "Christian" to do it through the state.
But then, I don't think charity is a christian value, as it has been well demonstrated that religion does not make people act any better, and often gives them valid excuses to act worse.
