gram is as American as apple

that AmeriCorps is another trag
ic example of a liberal program
that sounds great, tugs as your
heart strings, waves the flag and
steals your wallet. More money
is being spent on the federal bu
reaucracy that manages the
AmeriCorps \vorkers than goes
into the pockets of those people
doing the work. On average, it
costs about $26,700 per Ameri
Corps member for 10 months
work. The bureaucracy and over
head uses up over $14,500. The
worker receives what’s left,
about $12,000 ($7,400 in
cash and a $4,725 tuition
credit.) In some places the
costs are mind boggling.
For instance, the Navy’s
Seaborne Conservation
Corps costs $66,175 per
Volunteer’; the Vermont
Youth Conservation Corps costs
$42,758 per participant; and
Magic Me of Baltimore ‘volun
teers’ cost $49,625 each.”

“We need to evaluate its ef
fectiveness to learn whether or
not this program is really mak
ing a difference in the lives of
our children. We should encour
age communities to take pride
in our children and teach them
how to care for their fellow citi
zens. The federal government
cannot teach us to be good; only
our parents, schools and com
munities can.”
ASHINGTON (AP) — Bob Dole tried to pin the
ral" label on President Clinton Monday, contend-
lis White House rival was hiding his real political
s until after the election. Clinton retorted that his

“The record doesn’t support the charge.”
For evidence, Clinton cited his four-year record
of reducing the deficit and signing bills for welfare
reform, banning assault weapons, authorizing
100,000 police and sanctioning the death penalty
for drug kingpins.
Clinton generally has avoided direct responses to
Dole — leaving that to his staff or to advertisements.
Senior adviser George Stephanopoulos said
there was no new strate
gy and Clinton respond
ed this time because a re
porter asked him about
Dole’s remarks. But
Stephanopoulos also said
Democrats are con
cerned when Republi
cans put labels on them.
“There is a fear of car
icature — all the time,” he
said.
In an interview with
PBS’ “NewsHour With
Jim Lehrer,” the presi
dent rejected GOP suggestions that he advocates
"loaded big government.”
As for the idea he would become more liberal in a
second term, Clinton said “the problem with that
argument, it doesn’t fit with what I did as president
and as governor and won’t fit with what I’m plan
ning to do in my second term.”
“He (Clinton) is still a
liberal. The only
thing that stopped
him ... was electing a
Republican Congress.”
