The Pope is not a Supply Sider
I learned more about Pope Francis yesterday. He is not a supply sider, but he used to be a bar bouncer.
His latest message, “The Joy of the Gospel” or “Evangelii Gaudium”, if you prefer dead languages, has created a stir. It’s about 80 pages long and I haven’t read it. Ok, I admit I haven’t read the Affordable Health Care Act either.
But I have read about it. It seems to be mostly about – the Gospel. The pope wants the church to get its hands and feet dirty spreading the good news.

He’s also doesn’t like poverty and inequality and he’s skeptical of the free market. The president feels the same but that gave us ObamaCare.
If you would like to actually read Evangelii Gaudium, in English, here it is. Or if you just want to read about it, you might like to go here, here, or here.
Never Mind
Fidel Castro on 50 years of the Cuban Collective – Never Mind! It may work for Michael Moore, but Castro offhandedly commented, “The Cuban model doesn’t even work for us anymore”. Here’s Jeffry Goldberg’s Lunch with Fidel in “The Atlantic”.
Oops. Here’s an update. Fidel now says, “when I say the Cuban model doesn’t work for us anymore I mean that the capitalist model doesn’t work for the U.S. anymore”. Never Mind.
