Welcome to brookings. My name is ron haskins, im the codirector along with Richard Reeves of the center on children and family serving brookings. Today we are releasing the 29th volume of the future of children. When i read that and we added these up, i almost died of exhaustion. It takes a lot to put these volumes up weve been doing this 10 or 11 years. This is the 27th policy brief. We have produced a lot of work. In this volume in policy brief we addressed vital issues of how to achieve broadscale impacts with social programs. We focused for several years on evidencebased policy, on developing programs that high quality evaluations show are capable of producing impacts on important child and family outcomes.

What the document quietly admits is astonishing. Despite contrary rhetoric, the irate did not give the irs enough funding to fully realize the plans divisio
but we start tonight with the revolution we saw in congress this week of course it s easy to say at the public drama of the vote was embarrassing for the gop and kevin mccarthy and despite what i thought was a terrific acceptance speech by mccarthy in the early hours of starting morning, the establishment media all week long pushed the narrative. talking about the new depth of dysfunction and the new government and anarchy. as we learn the details of what they were demanding honest observers would have seen this is actually productive fights for substantive report one - reforms to make congress more responsive and less corrupt and more accountable and effective. yes they should have agreed earlier, but despite the preposterous rhetoric of being insurrectionist and terrorist, we cannot see their fight wasn t just good and in good faith the good for the health of our democracy from the sanctimonious leadership about. they want our democracy when it was behind closed doors that
I just want to build on and i talked to our nevada folks about this the issue that gone epidemic in the most recent tragedy and share a tactic that we are using in wisconsin that im happy to share with you a lot of you may have done this already. We have introduced a lot of Gun Safety Bills including a bump stop band but we formulated a letter circulating to the entire wisconsin legislator directed at our federal upset it is an President Trump calling on them to take action immediately to pass background checks in the bump stop band and to allow the [inaudible] to do the Important Research on the impact of guns and Public Safety and health. Wanted to encourage your delegation to consider doing this. I think it would be powerful every state sent a letter federally to your delegation calling for action and not just pursue these policies in your state to which is another great option but i have a letter that we are currently going to send from our wisconsin delegation if you are intereste
