FUNDING OF WOMEN, INFANTS, AND CHILDREN PROGRAM
(Mr. MAGAZINER asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. MAGAZINER. Mr. Speaker, today this Congress just voted to cut the
WIC program that provides nutrition to pregnant women and children by
over $200 million. Many of the same members who voted to cut funding
for pregnant women and children to be able to afford food are also
actively supporting giving $1 billion to the President for his
ballroom, $1.8 billion, to reward cop-beaters and white-collar
criminals as part of the President's slush funds, and $1 billion a day
on an unnecessary war in the Middle East.
How corrupt and morally bankrupt could this Congress be, that we are
taking food out of the mouths of children and pregnant women and using
it to pay for vanity projects for the President of the United States?
This Congress has failed the American people.
