“This Budget is a Perversion of American Values”

Child care is absolutely critical to the success of low income families. Yet, it appears that is another thing under the attack of the Bush Budget Cuts. The fact is that our economy simply does not afford the notion of stay of at moms any more. Yet, with the more families losing child care assistance, some will have no choice. Where are the family values, I ask you?

According to the Administration's own calculations, an estimated 300,000 fewer low-income children will receive child care assistance by 2010. The President's budget would freeze child care funding for 2006- and projects that child care funding would remain frozen for the next five years, through 2010.

President’s Budget Promotes Twisted Priorities - Slashes Vital Services for Women & Families While Lavishing Tax Cuts on Millionaires and Corporations.

“This budget is a perversion of American values,” said Nancy Duff Campbell, NWLC Co-President. “While it imposes painful sacrifices on low- and moderate-income women and their families in the name of deficit reduction, it lavishes millionaires with even larger tax cuts. But it is reckless and unfair tax cuts, not increased spending on domestic programs, that are the main cause of the deficits we face.”

1. Of course it's a perversion of American values

just look at the representative from CA (? I think) being indicted for all the child porn downloaded on his OFFICE computer! He even likes seeing 5 yr old girls getting raped.

And let's not forget the other cuts so that the poor and middle class working Joe's have to pay out more thru their ass! http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/interactives/budget06/budget06Agencies.html

Now that's moral values for you!
