The children of this country are not suffering by any means. Funny though how the same group of politicians that seem to care so much about children have no problems with allowing people to kill them before they are born.

Don't confuse a religious/philosophical issue with a fiscal/political one...
I raised 7 kids and I'm raising 2 grandkids. I make good money and I can afford health care for them. I know people who have kids and can't... Not because they aren't hard workers, but because health care is out of reach for them. They make too much for assistance but not enough for health coverage. The health insurers and the HMOs have certainly created issues...
But it's a funny thing... They pay their taxes, just like you and I. Is it so much to ask that we make some provisions for health care for their children? Instead, we'll continue to throw their tax dollars and ours into the hole we call the Iraqi War... or continue to provide welfare to illegals...
BTW, yes, the Constitution does "provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States;"
Seems like we're spending an inordinate amount on "Defense" and less on the "general Welfare", IMO...
