He got fired after he ended up back in drug rehab again. Even Soros has standards for his employees, low though they are.

Where is the Constitutional authority for Social Security?
Where is the Constitutional authority for providing health care to children (or anyone else)?
Where is the fairness and equality for financial success to be taxed at a higher rate than financial hardship?
What is the quantitative analysis of "is terrible"?
OMG The Children.
Children and old folks are going to starve and die.......the horrors.

The constitution gets in the way of what they want.
The reason "it's terrible" is because it's Trump.

A democrat said it so it must be true..
As usual, boy's post is inaccurate or misleading. Trump specifically requested that nothing be cut for SS retirement or Medicare.
The cuts are all in the waste-prone anti-poverty areas.

I just wondered if it's the typical "we were going to expand it this much, but he's only expanding it THIS much - so it's a cut" kind of thing.

Well, as long as you are firm in the belief that this country was founded entirely on secular values and not Christian ones. Certainly Christ had no opinion on the rich supporting the poor, or the treatment of the sick and the elderly.

Tell me, Bubba, what was Christ's position on supporting the poor? My Bibles all say he told the rich man to sell all he had and give it to the poor. He didn't say sell all he had and send it to Rome did he?

Was that the only quote in your bible concerning the poor? Mine has a couple more.
“If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered.” First John 3:17 states that, “If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?” Job wrote, “I rescued the poor who cried for help, and the fatherless who had none to assist them” (Job 29:12).
God asked, “Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood” (Isaiah 58:7)
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy” (Prov 31:8-9)
“The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern” (Prov 29:7).
“arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy” (Ezk 16:49)
“He who gives to the poor will lack nothing, but he who closes his eyes to them receives many curses” (Prov 28:27).
“Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life” (1 Tim 6:18-19)
“A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor” (Prov 22:9)
“A faithful man will be richly blessed, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished” (Prov 28:20)
“He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward him for what he has done” (Prov 19:17)
But it sounds like we agree, the government should have no influence from Christian values and be completely based on secular ethics. How about your Church start rendering unto Caesar then.
