Speech #1040245273

That was a clear signal to me that the suffering of children is not being taken as seriously as it should be by this Congress. When several Democratic Senators tried to allow States to use their grants to provide vouchers for childrens necessities like disperse and clothes after their parents reached the time limits for aid. we were turned down by the majority. When several Democratic Senators tried to place more humane limits on the aid legal immigrants could receive. we were again turned down by the majority. And although we were successful in ensuring that food stamps are not block granted. I continue to have serious concerns about a bill that cuts S28 billion from food stamps. which provide the most basic necessities.
