“just a month ago on the front page of Time magazine, we have a cover story talking about our children in this country and new, brandnew research coming out how a child's brain develops fertile minds. We find that researchers across our great country are saying that the best time to learn a new language, to learn new things in our educational progress as people, might be between 0 and 5. That is what our researchers and our parents and our educators are telling us. At the White House today the President and the First Lady are convening a session on what we do and how we help our families get this information out there even more. But here in the House of Representatives, yesterday in our Committee on Appropriations, the Republicans proposed to slash WIC programs, which are for education and nutrition and development for our children and our families. What better contrast between the White House and our House of Representatives. Let us invest in our children.”
