I Wish I Had Me Some Vatican Austerity

It seems that everyone is tightening the belt right now (I wanna say a good Catholic type joke right now, but I don't know what a Catholic would tighten)...even the Vatican. Somehow the private-secret-and super rich-n-powerful Vatican had a negative balance of (just) 19 million dough-lair-ooo's. You see they had an increase in spending of 37 million..thus austerity.

The poor Vatican-ites can only spend $160,000 for some xmas nativity scene that they put up somewhere but the *really sad part* is that in 2009 the Prefecture for Economic Affairs (the budget office) OK'd $730,000 (1) for the same event. I know what you guys are sayin' right now...

...poor Vatican-ites, must be ruff.
