I have been following the thread. Again, you’re side stepping the issues. How does the government actually help the poor? Are the poor any better off since FDR and LBJ enacted and expanded government to “help?” Why is generational welfare a problem if goverment solutions are so “good?”
Of course you don’t.
No, but you obviously have.
Our social programs have helped the poor. Those who do not have to access, or become familiar with how it works, are blessed.
Which programs have been cut and by how much?
Because I choose to see their examples and believe it teaches us it is different? I cannot see how. But you don’t have to add the ‘obvious’ ad hominems statements turning the discussion to me personally.
And I’m sorry how you can’t see, as a Christian, that people on generational welfare are violating at least 3 of the commandments. I am for a short term safety net, however we have a problem when it goes on for generations and there is/was no plan to get these people off of public assistance. Now, when push comes to shove, they will suffer more. But, as the bible says, those that are unwilling to work should be unwilling to eat.
Read the article bob. It’s not a secret that social programs are up for cuts now due to those ‘negotiations’.
Show me a quote from the pope or a bishop that shows preference for our large federal bureaucracy over state/local government and private charity. Then, I will take your whining seriously.Because I choose to see their examples and believe it teaches us it is different? I cannot see how.

Oh please show me where Christ qualified His teachings with such?
Actually no social program is looking at a real cut (actually receiving less money in the coming year than they’ve had previously). Their rate of growth has only been slowed - like a failed cancer treatment.Read the article bob. It’s not a secret that social programs are up for cuts now due to those ‘negotiations’.
People have already pointed out the letter got the “cuts” wrong.Read the article bob. It’s not a secret that social programs are up for cuts now due to those ‘negotiations’.
I have posted articles in other threads; however, your ad hominem statements grow old and lack charity. I will not be responding to such tactics.
Slowing growth = “cuts” in liberal doublespeak, as has already been covered.
In other words, you’ve got nothing, once again. Thanks for nothing.
It’s a waste of breath. I’m done trying. Let him think he’s helping the poor when, in fact, he is supporting the creation of the poor.Of course you don’t.
They aren’t excuses. I am not (nor is anyone else) is advocating letting the truly poor die in the streets. But there is confusion as to who exactly the truely poor are. People on generational welfare as well as the welfare queens and poverty pimps are gaming the system. What’s stopping them from actually getting a job and contributing to society like the rest of us.
Where did Christ qualify His teachings? Where did Christ say, ‘what’s stopping them from actually getting a job and contributing to society?’They aren’t excuses.

Christ also told people to go sin no more. I guess people forget that too.

Christ taught that we should set up up large bureaucratic welfare systems? I must have missed that part of the Bible. Citation?Did Christ realize he was creating the poor with His teachings?
So, you believe Christ was in favor of able-bodied people milking a welfare system, too? You must have a different version of the Bible.
