Van Hollen: GOP Budget "Cruel" to the Poor | National Catholic Reporter

Van Hollen: GOP Budget "Cruel" to the Poor | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Paul Ryan already spoke and acted.  Luckily, his budget means nothing unless the Senate Finance Committee and the Senate Agriculture Committee agree to entitlement changes.  He is playing to the base and nothing more.  He is essentially fighting with Rand Paul to be the next Ron Paul.  It is a fools errand.  If libertarianism is to mean anything, it must coalesce with the Green/Socialist movement to find a way to provide a better life for the poor by using non-governmental means (like the Church and the Tax Code).
