Ryan budget would hurt the elderly and the sick
Editor's note: The following letter was written to Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan by more than a dozen Georgetown University Jesuit priests, numerous members of the Theology and other departments including History, Government, Philosophy, School of Foreign Service and School of Nursing & Health Studies. The letter was written in response to an appearance by Ryan at the university to discuss his federal budget proposal. The letter followed a series of letters by dozens of Catholic bishops expressing concerns that the proposed GOP budget contradicted Christian principles of compassion.
