We know that every single dollar that these Republicans add to the national debt--and they propose to add about a trillion dollars to the national debt with these unpaid tax breaks--every one of those dollars is another trillion dollars of excuses when it is time to renew the Child Health Insurance Program next year, or CHIP; when it is time to invest in early education and Head Start; and when it is time to invest in preventing child abuse, strengthening our adoption system, and having a family-nurse partnership to work with these young families. Those are the excuses, while one House Republican group calls all of these welfare. Let's vote for children and against this act.
