The budget bill that the House Representatives recently passed included about $50 billion in spending cuts. Some of those cuts were; $5 billion in child support, $600 million in foster care and $700 million in food stamps. (This feeds children as well) But to even things up…they included at least $60 billion in tax cuts that disproportionately favor the wealthiest. After all, fair is fair!
Some other statistics. There were 119,000 children waiting to be adopted in 2003. And every year, 18,000 – 20,000 0f those children “Age out”. They turn 18 and are no longer adoptable. Or supported in any way. They are shown to the front door and asked to leave. Too bad! So sorry!
