"But imagine that forty million people could no longer receive food stamps. Despicable politicians like Rep. Reid Ribble (R-WI) seem to believe that the Catholic Church should be able to take care of most of them. He actually seems to think it’s the church’s obligation to take care of them, perhaps thinking that if nuns like Sister Simone Campbell hound him about care for the poor, then maybe he’s found a doorstep where he can place his burden (you know, because poor people are a burden?), in a basket with a note that says, “They’re YOUR problem now!” Ribble asked Sister Campbell, “What is the church doing wrong that they have to come to the government to get so much help?” SERIOUSLY. He seriously deflected blame for HIS evil. That’s how heartless and willfully ignorant these villains are. Sister Campbell ... is too bright for the likes of a lowly US Congresscritter. “Justice comes before charity… Everyone has a right to eat, and therefore there is a governmental responsibility to ensure everyone’s capacity to eat. Love and care makes a difference, but the issues are so big there isn’t sufficient charitable dollars there.” Are the forty million supposed to get their needed food now from already flooded food pantries? No fresh fruit or vegetables, or fresh food of any sort. Bread with high mold probability. No dairy products. Lots of cans. Lots. People being turned away at times. The food offered there is supplemental at best... They work in a pinch. But pinches are for short periods of time, not for trying to feed families for years. Not in the land of plenty. Where will the pantries find the extra volunteers; let alone the extra food? Maybe Ribble can help out. Maybe he can lend a hand every day, because it sure doesn’t seem like he’s doing anything constructive in Washington. If he was, he’d know what an incompetent plan he’s backing."
