“A less well known but much more ominous text, however, concerns the fate of anyone who would harm a child or make children's lives more difficult: "If any of you put a stumbling block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were fastened around your neck and you were drowned in the depths of the sea" (Matthew 18:6-7).
The national debt is just such a stumbling block. It is the antithesis of "family values." It is neither pro-life nor pro-child. It is, instead, a economic version of the plagues, sent out by a modern pharaoh upon his own house.”
