The Catholic " conscience " of Gina Raimondo

Catholic Gina Raimondo -an enemy of the RIGHT TO LIFE ??
Affordable health care is a national crisis-not just a Rhode Island problem. Just read between the lines. Does " wise spending " and " limits " on the health care budget contradict the basic principle of universal health care-voiced very eloquently by the late Senator Ted Kennedy : health care is a basic human right ?
So if health care conflicts with the MAKE A BUCK principle of American and global capitalism , it is capitalism that must go or be reformed out of existence.
It is very clear to any democratic Socialist that a real solution to the homeless problem conflicts with PRIVATE PROPERTY rights.
Governor Gina Raimondo is " Catholic " but she is clearly deaf to the anti-capitalist views of Pope Francis. There ought to be a conflict in the soul of ANY Catholic politician between loyalty to capitalist market place values and whatever humanity AMBITION has not destroyed.
Who thinks that millions of working class and poor people will live and die in avoidable misery--un-protesting, with a benevolent attitude toward their capitalist master, the ONE PERCENT plutocracy ?
What we see in America today was observed in Paris in 1789. Dickens' " A Tale of Two Cities : " It was the best of times; it was the worst of times ".
For ordinary people in Rhode Island and in the United States it is the worst of times.
