Obama admin: GOP bill will kill 70,000 kids

Full Story



"We estimate, and I believe these are very conservative estimates, that H.R. 1 would lead to 70,000 kids dying," USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah testified before the House Appropriations State and Foreign Ops subcommittee.

"Of that 70,000, 30,000 would come from malaria control programs that would have to be scaled back specifically. The other 40,000 is broken out as 24,000 would die because of a lack of support for immunizations and other investments and 16,000 would be because of a lack of skilled attendants at birth," he said.

That's right, ladies and gents! Dems pull the old "GOP wants to kill kids" argument! Must be losing the debate pretty bad to play this card.
