House Budget Would Cut Programs for Kids

Mar 24, 2003

Last week, both the House and Senate struggled to approve budget resolutions, the budget blueprint for federal spending. By a narrow margin (215 to 212), the House passed a budget with $726 billion tax cut package that, according to the Children's Defense Fund, would necessitate some of the deepest cutbacks in programs and services for children in history--cuts in education, Medicaid and CHIP, foster care and adoption assistance, food stamps, Head Start and child care assistance, school meals, and others.
