    ZING! It would be nice if Ryan actually followed Catholic doctrine in his budget, instead of Ayn Rand’s viciously self-absorbed approach.

    “ZING! It would be nice if Ryan actually followed Catholic doctrine in his budget”I’m continually surprised by how few self professed “conservative Christians” follow the actual teachings of Christ. He would be appalled what what has been done in his name.

    this sounds like the kind of pope we need. Hope his influence will be great!

    I’m constantly surprised that people think Jesus had an actual message of peace and love and that he set a standard that others should follow. His actual message was “believe in me or you’re going to hell”.

    Miracles do happen! (And there we agree twice, I think.) I do disagree, however, that people “using the system” are any real threat. When serious investigations have taken place to find “welfare cheats,” they come up with absolutely trivial numbers. Connecticut did an investigation (I’ve tried to find the source, haven’t been able to as of yet) and spent more money on the investigation than was being used by the cheats. It is a tiny, tiny percentage — less than 1%, if I remember correctly. The “welfare cheat” meme, which I think Reagan pushed first, is a myth propagated to justify killing off ALL welfare.Having said that, I agree that good job-training welfare programs and the like are a good idea; there were a few in Obama’s job bill that got killed by the GOP.

    In what way does “not spending as much” not equal “cut spending?”

    Providing your numbers are accurate, it says more about WalMart and other businesses than Republicans.
