Trump's immoral budget
Trump's immoral budget
by Michael Sean Winters
In a federal budget document, the words "social justice" do not appear. In fact, the most basic terms by which we discuss morality, "right" and "wrong," do not appear either. Yet, a government's budget is a profoundly moral document, containing as it must the priorities being put forward on behalf of we the people, evidencing the values we are trying to advance and what common efforts we think are worth funding.
The Trump administration's budget proposal is profoundly immoral.
