BudgetIn past years 60 leaders from diverse faith communities across the nation, called on Congress to examine the budget as an inherently moral document. They offered six specific questions that should be considered in determining whether the budget’s provisions are fair, just and promote the common good. The questions below also apply to our state budget. We pass them along for your consideration. Does the budget provide those in need with the assistance necessary to build self-reliant, purposeful lives? Does the budget provide adequately for all God’s children, including the poor and sick, the old and very young? Does the budget strengthen the foundations of our country in order to make us safe and more secure? Does the budget protect God’s creation, the environment? Does the budget spread its burdens and rewards fairly, or are some groups given special unearned privilege, while others are excluded from America’s bounty and opportunity? Does the budget promote justice and equality by providing for basic
human needs in health care, education, housing and other areas? Home | Budget |
