There is a hot debate these days in the S on budget cuts and national debt.
One has to be blind not to see that this not merely an economic matter, but also an ethical one, be it a complicate one.
A recent survey by the Pew Research Center for People and the Press reveals worrying results. This is what a recent article in Christianity Today writes about it:
The top choices among evangelicals for the chopping block are economic assistance to needy people around the world (56 percent), government assistance for the unemployed (40 percent), and environmental protection (38 percent). In each of these categories, evangelicals were more supportive of decreasing spending than are other Americans. In fact, evangelicals were more supportive of funding cuts in every area except military defense, terrorism defense, aid to veterans, and energy.
This makes Jim Wallis, from Evangelicals for Social Action, ask: ‘What Would Jesus Cut?’ (WWJC)
What do you think he would?
