...current federal welfare programs are not helping the poor loft themselves up. Essentially, they are just perpetuating poverty.... (Paraphrased Paul Ryan). What I tried to say was that that puny, insignificant $180 which looms tremendous in the minds of the poor, was not enough for essentials. Could they rent a decent house to live in? Or could they buy a house? Pope Pius said that as many of the workers as possible should become owners. Is there any chance to become an owner on a hundred and eighty dollars a month?
