Clergy challenge Blunt’s plans to make deep cuts in Medicaid:
A broad spectrum of big-name religious leaders came together Tuesday to announce their intention to challenge Gov. Matt Blunt’s proposed Medicaid cuts.
The meeting at Christ Church Cathedral in downtown St. Louis came on the heels of a boisterous rally Sunday at Lane Tabernacle C.M.E. Church in St. Louis, which was organized by clergy members of the Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN.
I’m saddened that these non-government sources want to make up for the shortfall of Christian charity under their watch by government funds. But then, the government is often the easiest solution for tough problems because it allows the citizenry to wash its hands of effort to do good.
