A response to: Funds for Bailout But Not Development?
Derrick Cooper was correct in his challenge as to what country has done more for other nations and causes than the US. However, his rebuke of Archbishop Migliore was unnecessary. We are a wealthy country — a country that is overflowing with milk and honey. Unfortunately, our governmental leaders have poorly appropriated the taxpayers dollars and especially in the poor regulation of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Instead of those Democrat senators who were closed-minded to calls for reform in 2005, we are now bailing out this housing problem with $700 billion which, of course the taxpayers will have to pay.
We need responsible leaders who will be responsible for taxpayer dollars so that our taxes can not only take care of our own national responsibilities but individuals who out of love reach out beyond their own neighborhoods to care for the «tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of» those nations that lack the blessings that we have received from being born into our American families.
We must remember the poor widow who loved so much and trusted the Lord, who gave her last two mites.
Rev. John M. Zimmerman
