and now force ryan on to a candidate that needs to be moving towards the middle but has him now moving further to the right. and the other thing is that when we get to the numbers, you know everyone says ryan s a numbers guy. well, his budget doesn t balance anytime in the next 30 years. right. i ll be 85 before there was a balanced budget under ryan. he s just using a debt problem to cut programs that republicans have always opposed. medicare, education, higher education, pell grants, food stamps. to use that money to provide tax cuts to people like romney. now we know on the ryan budget, governor romney would only pay 1% in taxes. because he excludes all income from investments in capital gains and the like.

highest earners of this country from 35% to 25%. and in mitt romney s instance, to 1%. how does that help the deficit busting budget? now, we re noticing and this we want to ask you. i have to ask you this. some republican congressional candidates are kind of like distancing themselves. i want to play you this ad by montana gop senator danny rayburg kind of disstancing himself from the policies of ryan. look at this. rehberg could harm the program so many rely on. that s got to bring a bit of a smile to see some republican candidates like rehberg moving away from the vice
judged by how we treated these people. did we feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked. this is how we will be judged as christians. and the ryan budget as the u.s. bishops as the u.s. catholic bishops said, fails more moral criteria of the gospel of catholic social teaching. because it doesn t protect the poor. it doesn t protect working poor working people too. and this is why we were very critical of it and said that this is we have to have shared sacrifice if we re going to face the deficit. we can t just balance the budget on the backs of the poor. father reese, i understand what you re saying, but that s why i was interested in this statement from congressman ryan. listen to this and give me your response. one of the primary tenants of
