Perkins thinks that his reading of the Bible should be the law of America. Our laws are not made that way. Helping the poor is decided by law. Opponents of government involvement stress that it perpetuates reliance on government. But there are still ‘widows and orphans’ and ill who need help.

Opponents should find a way to distinguish the two groups. Those that can work should be provided work if not available in private industry. But that too will cause objections because the government will be paying them. But if private industry exports potential jobs to the rest of the world where are the jobs? The government is then going to pay them for working or not working. Perkins, this is what you should be working on, not looking in the Bible to justify not aiding the poor. Eliminate the poor.

I agree with you.

The reason private industry exported the jobs, is that we lowered and almost eliminated the import tariffs that had served this country well it’s first 190 years.

The export of American jobs will continue as long as those tariffs remain low and the world has excess labor willing to work for subsistence wages.

Government policies caused the current unemployment problem. And fixing government policies can fix the current unemployment problem.
