Catholic Charities USA says unprecedented numbers of individuals and families are coming to their agencies nationwide for food, housing and health care. Father Larry Snyder is President of Catholic Charities USA. He’s calling on political officials at every level
to make prudent decisions that will minimize adverse effects on those who have the least in our
society. He says in many cases governments at the state, county and local level are trying to balance their budgets on the backs of those who have the least. Father Snyder says the social safety net must be preserved and we must create an economy that benefits everyone.

: “"And that's where we need to correct the system. To make sure that everyone is benefitting from our economic policies here. Ultimately it's about building a nation where the American Dream is still reality and not just a myth."

1. "balance their budgets on the backs of those who have the least" ...

I thought that was the tenet of the guy that "God gave us" in November 2000 ... wait ... the 5-4 SCOTUS gave us in December 2000 ...

Don't they want more tax cuts?
