Thin book: The gospel according to Eaves Jr.

The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 10/14/7

We’re seeing a new gospel unveiled in the 2007 Mississippi gubernatorial primary, the Book of John Arthur Jr.

In that gospel, prayer and religious education in public schools have no constitutional barriers.

In that gospel, public health care programs can be funded with no tax increases with the poor themselves paying for it through premiums and co-payments. The health care program can even be doubled without doubling the state’s costs and all this can happen no matter what Congress and the White House do with the CHIP program that already isn’t meeting the needs of Mississippi children.
