Jon Fox said "I will say, in summation, the spirit of voluntarism also is alive and well in Montgomery County, PA, where we have hundreds of organizations working to help with shelters for the homeless, food cupboards, you name it, health care. They are involved. But with our welfare reform legislation, in the Congress, I think that is also very sensitive. We are going to have a safety net for those in need, when they are taking care of children at home, those who are able-bodied, in 5 years we are looking to help them get a job, job counseling, job placement, day care, if they need it. We want to make sure it is those who are able-bodied get in the world of work if that is what they are able to do and we can train them for it." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
