Because it's borne out by seven years of austerity here. Welcome to our brave new world of food banks and soup kitchens for the working poor.

“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
2“Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. - Matthew 6:1-4
Irrelevant. Your temper tantrum has nothing to do with whether or not Medicaid is found in the Constitution.
Once again, you show that you cannot answer the question.
You mean the Bible that says we're supposed to submit to the law?
Actually, it says just the opposite: that we're not to show favoritism, but treat all men equally.
OK. I'll bite: How does "the latest bill" "redistribute from poor to rich"?
Are you equally outraged by the redistribution from workers to the poor?
I don't think so but, if we are, draft the snowflakes and the little man-boys.
Isnt it actually the church’s job to redistribute from the rich to the poor ?
Yes. And I thought you all wanted Christian values in the heart of government
Submit does not mean agree with or not work to lawfully change the law. Should you or I submit to our countries laws on abortion?
Guess the OT prophets and Jesus didn't get that particular memo
I've already explained that.
Define 'workers '. Are you unaware that many below the poverty line are in work?
Shouldn't the Congressional Republicans have sorted that issue out before voting for the Bill? It's leaving an awful lot to chance: PAYGO is automatic unless a deal is struck...shouldn't they have got the 'unless' sorted before voting?
If their opponents thought they could hold their agenda hostage, they never would have agreed. Now we will see what happens.
As Curtis I think posted, Sanders and some GOPers to their credit are trying to do strike a cross party deal to get round PAYGO. Let's hope they succeed.
Nice try. Do you let your government do all of your giving ? How about witnessing ? If yer short one week, you want them to tithe for you ?
If the poor are not being taken care of, it is the church’s fault.
Medicaid is not one of the programs that the OMB can cut under PAYGO, but Medicare is.
You think Democrats are going to vote against a waiver to PAYGO that would spare cuts to Medicare?

And what led to the "seven years of austerity"? Couldn't be the welfare state you love so much, could it?
That's what happens when the takers outnumber the contributors.
That will never work for left wingers. The giving is voluntary.
They've voted for a waiver almost 100 times already. Not much chance they'll change. Senior citizens will kill 'em at the polls.
