When the budget is a moral failure, who will speak for the poor?

When the budget is a moral failure, who will speak for the poor? by NCR.  My response: The House Budget is not controlling law, the Budget Control Act is.  The Ryan budget is a political statement (and will likely lose more votes than it gets, but it will turn on donors). It mostly shows that the GOP is not serious about governing and should be (and likely will be) voted out.  Ryan has lots of seniors in his district.  They won't support him if there is a good opposing candidate.  After his latest hijinks in suppressing dissent, the Bishop of Madison will be of little help in salvaging Ryan's career.  As to whether he should be able to use ecclesiastic disicpline to make Ryan change his position, the answer is no.  That would be sedition and would require the President notify the Nuncio that the Bishop has overstepped his authority.
