fewer children because of sequester budget cuts. these are the most devastating cuts that we ve ever seen. the sequestration. i have my four children with me when i was homeless at the time. they make you feel bad about being poor. even though you re doing everything right like i m going back to school, i m doing everything i m supposed to do. but you can t get a break. i need this program because they gave them the support they need. they give them that boost. there are kids that needed a lot of help and they got it from this program. but republicans see it that way. when the sequester cuts were passed, they were falling over each other to congratulate themselves. speaker boehner called it a positive step forward. eric cantor said it was quote, the first big change we have accomplished. and congressman paul ryan flatout called it a victory. a victory for whom congressman?
