Homeland Insecurity...Why new investments in children and youth must be a priority for the Obama Administration and the 111th Congress

As President Obama and the 111th Congress struggle with worldwide economic problems, ending two wars, and rebuilding the nation's physical infastructure, it would be easy to postpone the critical new ivestments America needs to make in its children. And an already challenging situation is compounded by state budgets staggering under the recession and the cuts in social spending which follow.

But make no mistake, the development of human capital is central to U.S. global competitiveness, increased productivity, caring for an aging population, and fulfilling the moral obligation every generation has to leave the world a better place for the one that follows. This is not the time to take a step backwards.
