The principle of Jubilee is found in the Old Testament where every 50 years all debts were to be cancelled so that all the tribes of Israel would get their inheritance back. It is also echoed by Jesus. It is time for the rich to help the poor instead of taking advantage of the poor. It is time for the Kingdom of God to advance on earth as it is in Heaven. 2008-04-12T23:49:09Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-04-12:/comment/5451 Brewerj This bill typifies what is best about America. While debt-forgiveness is one step, we must treat these countries as partners by working with them to end hunger, expand education, fight disease and create economic growth. Helping these countries get a fresh start is consistent with our values as a country and is in our long-term self interest.
