Jocelyn Smith from Roswell, New Mexico, articulates the struggles of women and children in America, with nearly 43% of women and almost 50% of children living in poverty or low-income. The recent increase in homelessness, particularly among families with children, highlights a growing crisis. With proposed budget cuts under the GOP's plan aiming to slash Medicaid and food assistance, the impact on vulnerable communities is poised to be devastating. Smith underscores the urgency for Congress to address these issues rather than perpetuating harmful policies that exacerbate the struggles of working families.
"Smith is frustrated, highlighting that the GOP budget proposal could slash $880 billion from Medicaid and $230 billion from food assistance, threatening the very lives of vulnerable families."
"Nearly 43% of women and almost half of all children in the United States are poor or low-income, a stark statistic that reveals the extent of the crisis facing families today."
