Read excerpt
When we see someone in need, whose responsibility is it to help? Democrats rush to the government. Christians should begin elsewhere. Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico “has taken his message into church pulpits and campaign venues alike, citing biblical texts as justification for broader health care coverage, care for veterans, and protections for immigrants,” according to NPR.

In any discussion of how to salvage Social Security, the fundamental flaw in the Social Security system must be addressed. Most pension fund fiduciaries are held to a prudent expert standard.
