Description

Investments in the education and health of children are critical to the nation's future. The fed. gov’t. has traditionally provided aid to disadvantaged children and families. However, fed. spending on current health care and retirement program -- Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security -- will absorb an increasing share of the fed. budget and economic output. There will be little room left in the fed. budget to address other priorities, including programs designed to assist and ensure opportunities for disadvantaged children and families. This forum, convened on June 25, 2008, identifies key areas of concern related to disadvantaged children and their families and discusses ideas to address these concerns within this fiscal environment.
