The best thing about this new approach is that all the programs will be repeated in the summer, so you can hear the candidates say the same things again. Come to think of it, maybe it isnt such a new approach. PC?) no Most chose it. It can be argued that transients who elect to stay drunk and forage on gar bage and sleep in doorways are no less deserving of our compassion and assist ance. Even when they spend welfare checks on more drink. But taxpayers are wearying of that " argument. " The National Bureau of Economic Research finds that much unemploy ment among young black men reflects "unreported income." "One-fourth of the income earned by black men ages 15 to 24 comes from crime." Duke Professor W. Kip Viscusi says, "When individuals can make more money from crime, jobs are not very attractive."
