Here’s what Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, had to say this afternoon during debate on legislation she authored, H.Con.Res. 198, expressing the sense of Congress that the United States has a moral responsibility to meet the needs of those in poverty, and sets a national goal of cutting poverty in half over the next 10 years using a strategy that promotes good jobs at livable wages. The House agreed to it with an unopposed voice vote.
