Maintaining moral standards in the U.S. budget and a call to help children and the poor with tax and budget choices

According to Marian Wright Edelman, leaders should consider ways to expand health care. The government should not cut Medicare which she says makes both political and economic sense by doing so. She also adds that child poverty rates have gone up with all races of children and also that the infant mortality rates have gone up for the first time in 44 years. She thinks our country should help and not hurt this matter and that it should not eliminate national preference standards that have helped more than two million children. (0:40)
