Earlier this week, President Obama released the 8th and final budget proposal of his administration, and this budget takes important steps toward reducing poverty and improving the economic security of millions of Americans. This is particularly good news for women, who are disproportionately likely to be poor and are over-represented in the low-wage workforce. In 2014, one in seven women and four in ten single mothers were poor.
Some highlights of the President’s FY 2017 budget include:
President Obama suggests funding these initiatives through fair revenue sources, making corporations and the richest Americans pay their fair share of taxes.
I hope that these proposals, some of which have received bipartisan support, and all of which are common sense proposals to support the poorest Americans and their families, will be given serious consideration by Congress in the coming year. Making these proposals a reality would go a long way toward setting women and their families up for success.
