Republican New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg Proposes Anti-Poverty Measures Looking more and more like a man who wants to attract a wide array of voters for a Presidential run he says isn't going to happen, Michael Bloomberg (former Democrat, current Republican, future Independent?) is bucking conventional wisdom on poverty and proposing revolutionary measures that will pay the poor to make the right everyday decisions - showing up for school, free medical appointments or work; studying for exams; using free prenatal nurse services, etc. Concerns are how it will be payed for and how to eventually wean them off it. My suggestion: Take a page from Bill Clinton's welfare reform package and only pay for a set amount of time. Of course, I'm sure Bloomberg has already considered this being that he recently met with the DLC's Al From to discuss political strategy.
