Rev. Jim Wallis, the founder of the Sojourners Community and editor of Sojourners Magazine, has been on a hunger fast since March 28 to protest Congressional budget cuts. Democracy Now! interviews Wallis the day after President Obama gave a major televised address to outlined his federal budget plan. Wallis criticizes both Obama's and the GOP budget proposals, saying that, "a budget is always a matter of choices," which he says reflect a nation's values.

  • rev. wallis looks like a pedo. he's on a hunger strike & he's still fat.

  • The good people fast, the thugs keep eating, off the rest of us!

  • Paul Ryan - "This is a future where we will transform our social safety net into a hammock which lulls able bodied people into lives of complacency and dependency."

    Instantly the words from Scrooge came to mind, "Are there no prisons? Are there no work houses?"

    This man is from the 1% of the 1% for the 1% that he belongs to.

  • I truly appreciate Jim Wallis, his work and his courage. I wish more leaders could articulate their beliefs so clearly, and with such honesty and conviction.

  • "A budget is a moral document."

    I like that.
