Robert Reich: What's Missing From The Coronavirus Bill

[ancianita]

The COVID-19 pandemic guarantees that we're only as healthy as the least healthy among us.

1. Not a Christian, but didn't Christ say something about "the least among us"? To those..

who are truly spiritual, principles like this are the gospel truth. Meaning they are true. They are reality. They are the way to live. Not the hypocrisy that you see on the Right. How you treat the least among us. That could come back to benefit you. Or to hurt you.

2. I'm an atheist, but have read the Bible, and yes, Jesus did say that.

I hear you. You'd think they'd try to see some logic in that. But his teachings aren't as much understood as feel good-platitudes. Pharasees train others into belief, not thinking.

The Christians you speak of tend to be followers of pharasaic teaching, not Christ. They are sunshine Christians who forget Jesus' Second Great Commandment when it requires even a little effort, not to mention sacrifice.

3. Haven't seen Robert Reich for awhile

but he's starting to resemble George Carlin in appearance.

4. Heh heh. Now that you mention it ...

I'd stopped being a fan a while back, but he's still got good, fair, fact-based criticisms to make, so I thought I'd just put this out there because ANY spending by Dems should be smart and impactful.
