If the Government is shut down then why are they still talking about their pay and about H.J.Res. 84 - Head Start for Low-Income Children Act ? “What’s going to happen to my baby?”




“What’s going to happen to my baby?”       
In a Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2013 photo, Patricia Jones, 34, center, is hugged by her 4-year-old daughter Pashalae Armstrong, 4, center left, while talking to The Associated Press outside of her home in Newark, N.J., with her other children, Nature Harris, 15, top, and Latrell Armstrong, 2, right. Jones was denied getting a proof printout of Harris disability to apply for government aid because the shutdown has closed her local social security office. Like millions of other low-income women, Jones relies on the federal Women, Infants and Children program to pay for infant formula _ a program thats now jeopardized by the federal government shutdown. New Jersey and other states say they have enough money to operate the program for another few weeks, but advocates worry what will happen next.

“What’s going to happen to my baby?” asked Jacob’s mother, Cierra Schoeneberger, as she fed him a bottle of formula bought with her WIC voucher. “Am I going to have to feed him regular milk, or am I going to have to scrounge up the little bit of change I do have for formula or even baby food?”
