There are only two countries that have child poverty rates over 20%: Romania and the United States.
Look at this chart. Then consider that Republicans in Congress have approved a bill that would, among other things:
- Eliminate the Social Services Block Grant program, which provides millions of dollars to the states every year to provide childcare assistance to low-income families, among other things.
- Remove 1.8 million people from the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program, formerly known as food stamps. That program, as I’ve written before, cut the number of extremely poor children during the recession in half.
- Cut 300,000 children from the rolls of the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which has been widely hailed as a massive policy success, because it gives poor children access to health care.
- Remove 280,000 children from low-income families from the free school lunch program.
Where would the money from these cuts go? To replace automatic cuts to defense spending that were agreed to by both parties last year as part of the Budget Control Act, which resolved the impasse over the debt ceiling.

From an interview with Samuel:
Two years ago the Gulf Oil spill happened and I was mesmerized with the disaster…watching the counter on the bottom left of the screen forecast how many gallons of oil were being spewed into the Gulf of Mexico. It was horrifying to think that they could not stop this. Then the photos of the oil-covered birds started to be broad-casted. I wanted to go to Louisiana to photograph the oil covered birds as their plight was the iconic face of this disaster, but was unable to get access to photograph these birds due to regulations from the government and BP. I thought if I cannot go to the birds then I will bring the birds to me. Because of the nature of this disaster I made the leap to skeletons; they represent the final chapter if we do not reconsider what we are doing to the planet and to life forms that share the planet with us.
