Required Reading for Ryan, Sirico, Douthat et al.

While searching for something else this morning, I came across this succinct but pointed article at the Distributist Review by James Baresel, in which the author explains why subsidiarity does not imply adoption of the "small government" libertarianism being proffered by the GOP these days. Very well done, a must-read for those commenting on the Ryan budget, and we'll be looking for more from Mr. Baresel.
