Yet another “political” roadblock

And if you want an example of what may be the worst kind of politics, Sojourners points to the way in which congressional Democrats are holding up a bill (the CARE act) which tries to spur charitable gift-giving, fund programs to promote economic self-sufficiency for low-income families, etc. etc. by way of protest from their systematic exclusion from conference committees. It’s a valid thing to protest, but could they have picked a different bill on which to make a stand? Jim Wallis makes this point compellingly.
