"A middle-income family spends more than $18,000 per year to raise a child" - just to send them off to college where men like you fail to protect them from abusers. Listen, do I hear George Clooney's footsteps?

You and the GOP have voted against every bill that would help working families. Please don’t pretend up you care about them.

You voted against pay raises, you voted against the child tax credit, you voted against school lunches programs. Cut the crap.
