What If We Invest in Children?

Food for 5.8 million families, 2.6 million kids learning to read or 4.1 million kids in child care so their parents can work to feed the family… or tax cuts for the very richest people in America. 

These are some of choices before the congressional "super committee," formed to try to address the deficit.  And believe it or not, they just might choose the tax cuts.

Tell the members of the super committee: It's not a tough choice. Food, education and safe places for kids come first.

We can't let the super committee cut basic needs for families while handing cash over to people whose basic needs are more than met. In this economy, with all that we've been through already, it's not only bad fiscal policy, it's just plain wrong.

Over the next 3 months, these 12 leaders will be hashing out a financial plan for our country with serious implications for our children. Together, we have to keep kids' programs a top priority and end tax breaks for the rich.
