Danny Davis actually said...

"Every day we delay action, poverty poisons the future for millions of our children and for our nation."

"This inability to govern has prevented us from doing our work for three weeks, despite an urgent need to keep our government operating, address the child care cliff, and stand by our allies."

"I believe that child poverty is a moral emergency. It is inexcusable that children in the wealthiest nation in the world are growing up in poverty."

"So the more comprehensive our approaches are, the more likely we are to see positive results."
