Quote for Today

(Thanks to Bill in Portland, Maine)

"Regarding the 'trickle-down theories' which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and social inclusiveness in the world: the promise was that when the glass was full, it would overflow, benefiting the poor. But what happens instead, is that when the glass is full, it magically gets bigger---nothing ever comes out for the poor."

Pope Francis
