Rick Santorum: “And programs where you saw it more as a dynamic program where people were there to do things, to make a positive…”

On the recordSeptember 6, 1995
And programs where you saw it more as a dynamic program where people were there to do things, to make a positive contribution to their community. I am hopeful that is what will result in this. I am very optimistic that we can find, I think, very solid support from the Republican side and a significant number of Democrats to pass this Dole bill or something very similar to it and do it while being very kind, I think compassionate, in the truest sense of the word, compassionate with the people who find themselves involved in this system, and at the same time respectful of the people who work hard and pay taxes to fund the system.
