a head start program itself only just educational readiness. it doesn't do with the underlying social problems that affected to are means tested eligible and head start. the key to why let a programs don't work as they are targeted program based on some sort of income eligibility for special eligibility and an enormous amount of fun and energy goes into the means testing and eligibility testing, leaving very little money for the actual programs. so the program send it being low dose, very minimal and are not sufficient to change the outcomes of children are just providing head start programs doesn't do with the fact that come from violent homes, but neighborhoods, poverty, homelessness, food insufficiency. you just can't overcome deficits by providing a head start education program. so that's where the boat began and most of the people who advised me it's a very interesting book. i'm sure cannot fox tv. that was not my goal. michael was not not to be equated. as i said that they do part 2 of the book to say there is some social programs that ar

>> when you look at the spending cuts, let's compare that have been addressed and housing aid, head start, meal on wheels, cancer screening and when you look at starts the priority sitting there and as you say will it's actually a little worse than that in the following sense. the things that are fixed are going to hurt the things that are not fixed. something was said earlier, there is new money to shut off the sequester. what they told the transportation department was, don't worry about the sequester. you can go into your budget and find other places to cut. >> right. >> what that means is when you start replacing parts of the sequester for people who have the visibility and the access to get their voice heard and get their sequester pain taken away, the cuts have to be deeper elsewhere. and where will they come from? from the poor, the unemployed. >> it's getting much worse and it's impacting people and as you say, they are shifting cuts and they are not doing anything that would really in a substantive way deal with the fact that they've rendered this court in a situation that increa

will my kid be able to go to head start? will i be able to get the unemployment benefits that i was promised? will my kids be able to go to a school for a five-day week instead of a four-day week as ft. bragg in north carolina is considering. around the country this is very real. the people i talked to were just confused why washington isn't addressing these cuts and why they seem to be the new normal. >> you know, nia malika, you're one of the few washington reporters that don't live in some bubble that understand what's going on. and let me bring this to you. head start programs in indiana is an example. they're actually using random drawings to decide which low income preschoolers will get kicked out. watch this, nia. >> head start has made a big difference in 4-year-old sage. how he plays with other kids. how he's advanced academically. >> i'm very proud of him. >> but alice just learned her son soon has to stay home. he's being cut from the program as the result of federal budget cuts. >> i was heartbroken. because he l

roughly 70,000 kids expected to lose eligibility for head start programs. the 1,000 would-be scientific researchers who won't get grants. older americans who will get fewer meals delivered from the meals on wheels program. low income families getting bumped from section 8 housing assistance. everyone who eats anything in this country as a sequester will cost us 2100 food inspections. and this phenomenon is not lost on anyone. the white house is not even trying to defend the president's decision to sign the flight delay fix. >> how is it fair or right or just that these kids on head start get their cuts that these cuts go into effect at the defense department and it's tough luck. but when a bunch of business travellers start belly aching because their flights are delayed because of furlough at faa, they get one of the fastest pieces of legislation to move through washington in recent memory. why doesn't the president take a stand against that? >> you could throw in members of congress who needs flights home also. but the fact is, the delays are a problem for

because we don't care about head start, meals on wheels, public defenders. you know, federal parks and all that. we never cared to -- cared about that in the beginning. so this is where the president thought he was trying to hit them with a hammer, and they're saying we'll take that hit if we still don't have to deal with you and taxes. >> when you look at the fact, krystal, i mean, let's look at the effects of the budget cut. 600,000 women and children lose nutrition aid. 125,000 families lose housing aid. 70,000 kids lose head start. 25,000 fewer cancer screenings. i mean, when you look at who's impacted by this, when you look at who can't defend themselves in some of the cases, the se seniors and these kids, have we become so insensitive in washington these people are just -- you know, they're expendable at the alter of my political career? >> yeah. i think david is right. a lot of what republicans do, their rhetoric around deficit cuts is really an excuse to try to cut exactly these kinds of programs. and even if you're a totally utterly heartless person

or take off work so they can watch their child themselves and head start provides nutritional assistance for these kids as well. they have to account for that you're starting to see a drip, drip of the stories and starting to see a cumulative effect of political pressure that's building up. but nothing is getting debated in congress with respect to a replacement. >> heather, we talk a lot about the struggles of the poor and the working class and dimos, you guys do great research on this as sam outlines the programs that are hurting are the ones that help the most in some ways. which is to say the working poor, whether it's housing vouchers, head start. and what it does is further exacerbate the gulf between those who have and those who have not. the question is when does congress become accountable to that? >> absolutely. i think there are two competing conversations we could be having at this historic moment. one is about the deficit and cutting spending and the other is about inequality and that's what's being felt on the streets and neighborhoods in this country. it's where people who

when one group somehow escapes the sequester and then we talk about head start programs. we did a piece on families in the midwest suffering because the head start program in their state had been affected. meals on wheels. the list goes on and on. is that an appropriate answer from mr. carney to that question? that is on the minds of americans today. >> i think what happened today is the starkest illustration of that inequity that exists, the sequester and til pact of it and how congress is responding to it. clearly you saw a lot of democrats today come out and say, i really hope congress works this hard and this fast when the head start cuts are being felt, meals on wheels, folks who are disabled are really facing the brunt. and a lot of the cuts as well with you it is not as widely felt. and it is a pretty valid criticism. i think that's been sort of the misstep from the white house's perspective in terms of how they've handled this. the cuts have kicked in so gradually and incemetekr increm. the furloughs at the airports was viewed as one of the highest impact cuts flo

seventy thousand children will be kicked out of head start nothing in this bill deals with them. so is this is the best congress can do here you know when it comes to the sequester and this is pretty much implicit. acknowledgement that government spending does have an effect on our economy and all this stuff and they choose to only focus on the part that affects rich people in themselves and this pretty embarrassing mark well it's a bare this is just partisan politics is worse this sequester actions become a political football going back and forth i agree with you the fact that this is where the airports that they use obviously by the nature of their business they have to travel a lot to and from their districts they're going to shut reagan down at one point they left it open specifically because senators and congressmen didn't want to as far as we have to go through this sequester ation process it's a healthy process if it leads to cuts we need to make cuts what they're doing obviously is they've gone after things and i think the president's done this intentionally gone after yo

the slashing of head start programs.absolutely nothing to say about that, do they? >> no. look, the republicans care more about tax breaks for hedge fund billionaires than they do about food for hungry seniors. this is the new republican party. this is the remade republican party. they won't sit down with the president. they won't come up with a bargain that can get rid of this sequester. they like the sequester. and they like the sequester because it slows the economy. they think it's their route to power in 2014. and the president, democrats, organizing for america, with all of the energy of that turnout on ration, is going to have to go into 2014, try to defy history and change the balance of power in this congress. >> wow. karen, here's white house press secretary jay carney. this is what he had to say earlier. take a listen. >> we hoped congress would show the same kind of unified passion it comes to helping families whose kids are getting kicked off of head start or seniors who are losing access to the meals on whe

they decided which kids got to stay in head start by lottery. fish bowl in columbus and franklin, indiana. 36 kids were booted from head start because their names were not picked and because congress decided to impose arbitrary life changing nickel and dime budget cuts technically called the sequester, for kids in indiana are called no more preschool for you. despite real world harm from the cuts, republicans have seen the sequester as a political victory, because even though they didn't particularly want the sequester, democrats didn't want it, and anything democrats don't want must be a good thing. generally speaking take a buzz saw to the federal budget fits the ideological stance, which is that government must always do less to do better. government doing less is better at face value. in that ideology, republicans coming up with a way to cut head start ise

i care about head start. i believe a head start investment is a smart investment. you might wonder with the concerns and the issues why i'm standing today to talk about marketplace fairness. women, your going hear a lot about a case quill v. north dakota. what you don't know probably the whole caption is quill v. north dakota over twept years ago, i heard the despair of main street businesses. i had a woman who came to me, she ran a little wall paper shop in her town. and she -- at the time i don't know if it's true today. you had to buy the wall paper books from the companies. it was an investment in presenting this product. and people would come her and they would open up the book and she would help them do a little entire your design. she worked through the fabrics and worked through all of this then they walked out and she never saw them again. she knew and i did they went home and looked in the catalog and took the lot number and ordered it on the internet. maybe, maybe they ordered it more cheaply than the sales tax. we wanted to know from me when i was tax c

, it's estimated as many as 70,000 kids could ultimately be kicked off of head start programs. here's a little bit more of what president obama had to say in his weekly address. >> i hope members of congress will find the same sense of urgency and bipartisan cooperation to help the families still in the crosshairs of those cuts. members of congress may not feel the pain felt by kids kicked off of head start, or the 750,000 americans projected to lose their jobs because of these cuts, or the long-term unemployed who will be further hurt by them, but that pain is real. >> so, again, alex, the question is, where is the president's leverage? how does he force congress to deal with the remaining cuts when basically he is signing off on this approach? so that remains to be seen, and congress is about to take a one-week recess, so certainly nothing is going to be done in the short-term. we'll have to see what happens when they come back, if they make any attempt to deal with the remaining sequester. >> okay, kristen welker at the white house. we'll see you again. thank you for the wel

seventy thousand children will be kicked out of head start not put in those buildings with them is through a long long list of programs and people nothing in that deal in that deal helps them either representative hoyer is absolutely correct the lack of empathy for the thousands of toddlers who won't get a chance to go to preschool or the tens of thousands of seniors who are now going to have to decide which meal to skip is startling is it time for congress to hole fill its constitutional obligation and work for the general welfare of all americans not just the richest one percent let's ask the last very entrepreneur and host of the truth for america radio show will welcome. hey tom thanks for having me thanks for joining us now that we know that austerity is bad policy it doesn't work it is throwing a whole bunch of european nations into screaming disasters it is harming the united states isn't it time for the by the way ronald reagan never did it he spent money you know at a much faster rate frankly than a broad obama is isn't it time to say enough already we're going to we're going to u

we got head starts, meals on wheels, cancer research all things the american public might consider abeing cut because the sequester is being used uniformly. republicans want to make it so this flexibility within the agencies so they can make cuts that don't affect people. getting rid of wasteful spending. we've seen talk about that. i think the democrats like the leverage that that brings because the public needs those programs. that can help put them pressure on republicans to go there way, but raise taxes and mixture of tax and cuts. republicans or holding their ground on this. to go forward will they hold their ground or be somebody giving in? >> heather: just sticking with what happened with the faa is the this a loss for democrats? >> i consider it, not necessarily a loss for democrats, but definitely a win for republicans because they did not have to go for tax increases. in some ways they got the democrats to give in by giving agency flexibility. i don't know if it hurt the democrats because we stopped the delays at the airport and we're still making cuts that will somehow hel
