Rudy:
NYC is one of the few cities where crime is continuing to decline and there hasn't been a year since 1994 where it hasn't declined. (WOW)
1.1 million city residents on welfare (one in 7) and I said we can't accept that. We have to look at things differently. We established a work program and said if you were getting a welfare check, you had to work 20 hours a week in exchange for the $$.
We did it because we cared about people more. I believe that our policies and programs, to give people access to ecnomic ssystem we have brings more people out of poverty than the systems of dependancy.
I think he's doing a good job.
Do you have the speech Rudy gave in 1999 in liberal NYC about Ronald Reagan?
If so -- can you send it to me or post it here. The ragers are hysterical and need to calm down just a tad.
