BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. KHANNA. Mr. Speaker, this bill is historic because it buries the myth that the cause of childhood poverty is a lack of character, or a lack of hard work, or a lack of love. The bill affirms the simple truth that the cause of poverty is a lack of income to cover basic necessities.

No child in America should be deprived of food, of medicine, of clothing, or of education because of the accident of birth. That is what this bill stands for. It represents and marks an ideological revolution on behalf of justice.
