My Argument!!!!!

Why is the government cutting all the programs pertaining to the children?? That isn't doing anything positive for the children of our future, it will probably hurt them and their parents more than anything. They are cutting all free preschool programs, and they are also cutting free child care programs, and they are even talking about cutting the WIC (women, infants, children) program. If the government expects women to work, and we are considered low income families, we will not be able to keep a job if we don't have the proper child care for our children, if you have to pay for child care and you only make a small amount of money, it defeats the purpose of you working in the first place. And if the government expects our children to be healthy, cutting the WIC program will not do any good for the kids as well. The WIC program supports Pregnant women, breastfeeding women, Infants and children to keep the children healthy from conception until age 5. If the government is going on a so called BUDGET,  I feel like they should start with all adult programs, before instantly cutting off all the programs for the children.

  1. A lot of people feel the way you feel. Unfortunately, when there is a budget crisis many community programs get cut. We have to hope alternatives are offered to people that need assistance.
