So it's a mistake for someone to think that they bailed New York out. They did assist us, for which we are grateful, but it's a mistake to say we bailed New York out by giving them a grant of money to help those poor people who throw it away on welfare.
David Dinkins

Sooner or later we've got to tie the saving of the natural world to our own public welfare.
