InsertsIn S.Con.Res. 18 · Placed on Calendar Senate
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that any reconciled mandatory agriculture savings required under this resolution should be primarily achieved through modifications to the payment limitation provisions of the Food Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002.
Inserted: SEC. . SENSE OF THE SENATE ON THE REDUCTION OF CHILD POVERTY.
Inserted: (a) Findings--The Senate makes the following findings:
Inserted: 1. Nearly 13 million American children younger than 18--nearly one in five--live below the poverty line;
Inserted: 2. The parents of poor children are playing by the rules and still can't get ahead since seven out of ten poor children live in a working family, and almost one poor child in three lives with a full-time year-round worker;
Inserted: 3. Poor children are at least twice as likely as non-poor children to suffer stunted growth or lead poisoning, or to be kept back in school; poor children score significantly lower on reading, math, and vocabulary tests when compared with otherwise-similar non-poor children; and more than half of poor Americans experience serious deprivations during the year, including lack of food, utility shutoffs, crowded or substandard housing, or lack of a stove or refrigerator.
Inserted: 4. Eighteen percent of children are hungry or on the verge of hunger--largely because they are living in poverty. Hungry children lack nutrients vital to healthy brain development; have difficulty focusing their attention and concentrating in school; often have greater emotional and behavioral problems; have weaker immune systems and are more susceptible to infections, including anemia; and often suffer from obesity;
Inserted: 5. Child poverty has risen significantly--by 1.3 million--since 2000.
Inserted: 6. The poverty rate for children in the United States is substantially higher than that of other major industrialized nations.
Inserted: 7. America's children are more likely to live in poverty than Americans in any other age group.
Inserted: 8. African-American and Latino children are much more likely to live in poverty than white children. One third of African-American children are low-income, as are nearly a third of Latino children.
Inserted: 9. Great Britain made a public commitment to cut child poverty in half in 10 years, and end child poverty by 2020, and they have already successfully lifted 2 million children out of poverty.
Inserted: 10. Poverty is a moral issue and the Congress has a moral obligation to address it.

Inserted: (b) Sense of the Senate--It is the sense of the Senate that the functional totals in this resolution assume that the United States shall set a national goal of cutting child poverty in half within a decade, and eliminating it entirely as soon as possible thereafter; that funds should be raised through a one percent surtax on income over $1 million for joint filers, or over $500,000 for single filers to help achieve that goal; that the revenue raised is to be designated to a child poverty elimination fund and overseen by a child poverty elimination board, which shall design the poverty reduction program, set annual child poverty reduction targets, and recommend allocation of funds.
