I'm not sure where the questions are leading, or how they tend towards clarifying what I asked previously. I have already stated that Christians should be concerned for the moral well-being of society, that is, we should evaluate these morals from a distinctively Christian point of view, which I take to be a biblical standard. Fiscal policy might have moral ramifications, in which case we are in a position to evaluate them from the biblical perspective; but the Bible does not lay out an economic plan for national prosperity, hence we cannot offer a distinctively Christian critique of fiscal policy where no moral issue is at stake.
