: This money helps working parents pay for day-care. 16 percent of those with pre-school children used the benefit for that purpose, and 3.3 million more eligible parents report that day-care expenses are no longer a barrier to employment.

Congress must not let go of the rope on this, and its most charismatic members need to stay in the ears of those who never complain about waste hidden within $768,000,000,000 defense budgets. This should be a moral imperative for a country that is fourth from the bottom in child poverty among the 36th wealthiest nations, a country where 1 in 7 children are poor and 12.5 million kids are food-insecure.
