Big-city mayors across the U.S. are hailing Congress' recently passed, $550 million 'Please Don't Feed The Poor' public-awareness campaign as 'a major step in the right direction.' Said New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani: 'When well-meaning but misguided souls give money or food to the poor, it takes them out of their natural dumpster-scavenging patterns and upsets their delicate ecosystem.' L.A. Mayor Richard Riordan agreed, saying, 'It's important for people to know that feeding the poor ultimately does them more harm than good.'
