"Ode to the Welfare State"

I was out of town today and ran out of time for blogging.

But -- ta da! -- a friend has come to the rescue by sending me this old "newspaper clipping" in an email just now! I'm not really good at political stuff per se...but what the heck! I think I'll just give it to you all for a chuckle. 

To relate it to our Catholic  faith, I'll add that I think there are quite a few way too many "social justice" types amongst our bishops, priests, and laity who could use a wake-up call on this kind of stuff!
