The national deficit is certainly a crisis. But alongside it a moral
deficit is exploding as well. Some want to unjustly thrust the burden of
the debt on our grandchildren. Others want to balance the budget on the
backs of the poor. But both plans are morally bankrupt. There is a
way--a realistic way, a moral way--to fix the deficit. We can break
political gridlock with solutions that stand on a foundation of solid
values and fair play. If you are tired of politics as usual that fails
to operate as if people mattered, take heart in Ron Sider's balanced,
practical approach. Consistent with deeply Christian principles, he
offers a way forward that truly provides justice for all.
