Let's stick to track records Cooter. Giuliani has never served in congress.
First new city golf course in 35 years lots of subsidies to the entertainment industry sort of contradicts this.
You are very confused about the meaning of the term "corporate welfare."
Just exactly how did he reform it? Do you have a link? This was a federal initiative signed into law by Klintoon.
Far be it from me to defend Giuliani , but even liberals (who LIKE welfare) give Giuliani credit for reforming it in NYC. This is not exactly a secret, BTW. You can start with these:

NYC budget grew substantially while Rooty was mayor, further there was abudget surplus (in 2000?) This was not returned to the taxpayers, but spent. Sorry Rooty is a statist, not a libertarian.
Note that I answered M on this one, but I do agree with you that spending grew as revenues grew. The "surplus" that you're talking about happened in 1999, not 2000. And you should be glad it did, if you're going to be bitching about how it wasn't returned to the taxpayers. In 2001, NYC faced an unforeseen minor problem that sort of tapped into the City's funds a bit. You may remember it. Again, I don't like Giuliani, and I don't defend him. I'm just pointing out how the quiz you provided makes him libertarian. And if you are going to rebut that, and hurl around personal insults while you're at it, the least you could do is get your facts straight.
One doesn't have to be in Kongress to have a position on something know. Rooty was a supporter of this.
