The welfare to work program was enacted by Clinton not Rudy, its success is very questionable in large part because mayors like Giuliani had a built in incentive not to keep good data. The unemployment rate being low nationally was the result of the huge economic expansion during the Clinton presidency, NYC was the slowest to respond to that expansion, again Rudy has nothing to with any of this.

Crime went down nationally, thanks in large part to declining crack use , high incarceration rates, Clintons program to higher 100,000 police officers around the nation. In NYC crime started to drop under Dinkins thanks to declining crack use, Safe streets, Safe cities program enacted by Vallone sr. and Dinkins, not Giuliani. Broken windows and comp stat are turning out to be proven bs.

Giuliani will never be president.
