State of Washington Archives: on Welfare & Poverty


John Kasich: Reach out and help those who live in the shadows

After being sworn in last month for a second term, Kasich told the crowd in Columbus that Republicans must do more than argue for tax cuts and link their economic philosophy to an empathetic message. "There's one thing that people in my political party don't always understand. Economic growth is not an end unto itself," he said. "Economic growth provides the means whereby we can reach out and help those who live in the shadows."
