“Rs have tried for years to cut$$ for these programs, have generally been unsuccessful. Head Start childcare funds are popular -may be a backdoor way of defunding: just fire all the people who process grant apps & cut the checks. At the very least, slows down$ getting out the door.

I did write a letter to #Warren, #Markey, and #Pressley demanding that they do something about #HeadStart programs being denied access to funds.
