Religious groups call Bush's budget immoral
That's according to the Christian Science Monitor in an article called Budget critics: What would Jesus cut?.Immoral. That's what several religious groups are calling President Bush's latest budget. The charge has political ramifications. It threatens to undermine some of Mr. Bush's support from voters concerned with values. But it also raises a deep question: Can budgets be moral or immoral? Is that really how the nation's spending plan should be judged? This emerging challenge is turning the "values" debate on its head. Liberals are putting policy issues in moral terms. Conservatives are resisting it.And more and more people would argue that many policy issues - like those relating to poverty, for example - are moral issues.
