The Republicans still have not put Poor Children first before the One Percent

I know that the contents of this blog have spent many posts on the Children's Health Insurance Program. I feel it is necessary because a nation is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable citizens. If we were grading our current government, they would be failing with flying colors. In their zeal to pass a tax cut that will reward wealth over innovation and fairness, the leading members of the Republican Party in the Senate are postponing a vote on the Children's Health Insurance Program (C.H.I.P.) so they can take care of the top one percent. This is wrong morally and policy-wise. The One Percent can afford to wait for a tax cut.  Poor Children and their families can not afford to wait. Unlike the tax cut bill, there is a need for C.H.I.P. Unlike the tax bill, the renewal of C.H.I.P. will move the country forward. Please contact your Senator and tell them to put poor children ahead of the One Percent.
