Obama's Fiscal Policy Not Working? Really?


The next time you hear someone saying that Obama's financial policies are not creating jobs, refer him to this graph. The next time you hear someone saying that job losses started with Obama, refer her to this graph. The next time you hear... oh, you get the point.

Jim Wallis on the bad theology of free market fundamentalism

Jim Wallis is the first evangelical I know who stated that our national budget is a moral document. In his blog, God's Politics, he writes about the immorality of our banking system. You can read the article here. He has an excellent new book out, Rediscovering Values: On Wall Street, Main Street, and Your Street- A Moral Compass for the New Economy.

While I am not a person of faith, I have great respect for Wallis and the work he continues to do to overcome poverty and economic and social injustice. This is an important article: I hope you will read it.
