This brings alive the burning question
"Would Jesus have approved of (among many other things) the stimulus"?

Since, as I have heard, Jesus is a supporter of the free market and (a bit idiosyncratically) football (which may not help us much), maybe not?

'State power and the growth of the free market. A personal perspective.'

Would his support affect the separation of church and state?

I don't know, or maybe I don't understand.
The separation of church and state is not something much talked about here, perhaps because we don't have to.
When Howard appointed Archbishop Hollingsworth (Anglican=Episcopalian) Governor General people started about that.
It was so obviously a reaction to William Dean's very popular tenure that Australians were unsympathetic to Hollinsworth's demise over the handling of a (what else) sex scandal.
The religious right is growing here however.
The current economic problem has shot their sacred cow, which might slow them down.

Our economy is in the ditch. Even the very rich are losing their toys....jets, third houses, cars...it is kinda interesting to read about it.
Well, of course it was a sex scandal. Somewhere these people are signing a paper that tells them that they must get caught with either a man/woman while in office. The wife has signed a paper that tells her to stand by her husband at the podium while he says "I need some privacy while I work to heal the pain that I've caused my wife and family". Right about there, I'd deck the SOB. Actually, I did hit the ex one night. Sure surprised him.
Back to Jesus, I do believe that he supports the stimulus package. Some governors are being such _______s about it that he is stepping up his work.

Thank you, Pat. That was wonderful.

I belive he'd support a stimulus---but not a monetary one. I think he'd be kicking a** and taking names--like in the temple. Of course he did say ,"Render unto Ceasar the things that are Ceasar's"--- didn't he? I'd like the chance to ask him one fine day.

I agree..his stimulus would cause people to have great difficulty in sitting down. I like the image of his taking names. He would have to have a good supply of ink! What a conversation that could be! Pat
