In Christianity, there is accountability. Jesus laid out the progressive disciplinary steps. You go alone to the offender. If that doesn't work, you take several witnesses. If that doesn't work, you take it to the congregation. If that doesn't work, the offender is out of the body. You still treat him or her in accordance with the Golden Rule; however, you are to realize that the person is a heathen. How do you do both at the same time? How do you treat someone as you ought to want to be treated while at the same time treating him or her as a heathen?
How much faith are we to have in the Golden Rule? What is its power?
The measures advocated by U.S. Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin in the linked article are within the mundane, coercive system called American democracy. It isn't the same thing as the voluntary association known as the Church. Regardless, she is advocating for the reduction of evil. She's asking people voluntarily to sign on to her plan. Within the mundane (absent the divine having conflated yet with Earth), it is about as good as it gets.
It is preferable however that people finally come to realize that the American system is fatally flawed and no path to righteousness. You can't force people to know Godliness.
When Heaven and Earth conflate (New Earth and New Heaven), and they will, it will be when each and all have voluntarily seen and accepted the real light, the real truth that is giving and sharing all, total peace, and sexual purity that is harmlessness. That is true love and God the perfect.
Why do I link to such sites with such articles if they aren't Christian, per se? I do it to help highlight that the path followed by George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and all the other neocons is dead. It is pitch-black. There is zero light on that path. Dick Cheney has even openly advocated taking to the dark side (that's pure evil on his part coming right out of his mouth and heart).
Now, along come John McCain and Sarah Palin following very much in the footsteps of Bush and Cheney, maybe worse if that's possible, and it is. That's not to say that Barack Obama and Joe Biden have it right. They don't.
What you are seeing is a financial meltdown, because the whole system is evil. It's based upon selfishness, which is evil. Rather than struggling to get ahead in that evil system, we need to come together to pool efforts to bring forth the Christian Commons Project™.

I can't seem to find a link anymore at 'They Gave Us a Republic' which connected Sarah Palin to this anti-Church ( sounds like the Temple which arranged for Jesus' death to me )

Worth keeping an eye out for further developments.

Hey John,
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Sarah Palin is definitely a Dominionist. She's also a politician. They lie to get elected.
Dominionists are not Christians. They don't hear Jesus when he stops the men from executing the adulteress. They don't care about that when it's pointed out to them either. That's why they will never rule.
The people are sick of liars whether they lie about being Christian or whatever. Liars are going to find it harder and harder to stay in secular offices.
The lies about the wars and the economy are really sinking in. People are waking up. It won't make it easier though. The evil ones will become more overt. They aren't going to give up power just because the people stop being so duped.
It's going to make many people fall. Many will fall to violence against the even more evil ones.
Prophesy against them.
Greed, violence, and sexual depravity are doomed.
Mark my words. Look at how greed has now been exposed and is being severely and rightly negatively criticized.
Watch what happens concerning violence and sexual depravity (harmful behavior that is a choice people are always free not to make).
Hearts will wax cold. They will kill in the name of saving the planet. They will go the way of those they seek to kill.
God bless,
Tom Usher
