I cannot begin to understand how many of my colleagues justify this type of action especially In light of that fact that the income gap between wealthy and nonwealthy Americans is at record levels. In addition. the budget reconciliation bill before us today punishes poor children by eliminating key child nutrition programs. including the highly successful WIC Programwomen. infants. and children. It repeals school lunch and school breakfast programs and denies benefits to legal immigrants who have faithfully complied with the law and gone through all the proper channels to enter our country. Our Nation has always valued education as the ticket to achieving the American dream. This bill attacks student loan programs. cutting a total of over $10 billion over 7 years.
