But what the public is being offered by the Republican Party is an alternative explanation for that. It is a form of scapegoating. Working Americans who have found their economic futures Insecure are being told it is the fault of those poor people and those immigrants and those women who keep having children so they can make the few bucks you get on AFDC. In pursuit of that. what we will have this week brought forward by the Republican Party is an assault on people who are poor. who lack education. who lack skills. and most of all we will have an assault on children. What we get in American politics today is a very selective quoting of the Bible.
