Congressional budget: What would Jesus cut?

What I've learned in both roles tells me that we cannot fix our federal budget problems by cutting programs for our nation's most vulnerable people and for some of the poorest people in the world--and we shouldn't try to.

Faith-based aid groups in Africa have a long and mostly admirable history of working to alleviate hunger. Too often, however, faith groups have focused their relief solely on food aid and have stopped short of addressing hunger’s underlying causes. While doling out sacks of Nebraska wheat during famines or giving farmers yearly gifts of petro-fertilizers and “miracle” seeds may alleviate hunger in the short term, such “aid” merely perpetuates a downward cycle and does nothing to improve the long-term resiliency of the land.
