" DNC Cuts Off N.Y. Welfare Recipient
(2002-10-23) -- The Democrat National Committee announced today it is ending the welfare program for a New York man who's desperately seeking a new job.
DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe said he feels sorry for H. Carl McCall, "but I've got to put the resources where we can win."
Mr. McAuliffe's treatment of the floundering Mr. McCall may be an early indicator of the new Democrat approach to social programs.
"You've heard of 'compassionate conservatism'," Mr. McAuliffe said. "Well, this is tough love liberalism. We can't throw money into losing efforts. Once Mr. McCall shows that he can raise his own money, and improve his job prospects, then we'll send some money his way. We only want to give money to people who don't need it.""
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
