The election is over. Now the Administration and Congress will start coming to grips with impending service cuts, Pentagon cuts, and tax increases.

If Congress does not act by the end of December, millions of long-term jobless people will lose unemployment benefits  If Congress fails to act for months to come, services children need will be cut deeply - from education to WIC to Head Start to child care to the EITC and the Child Tax Credit.

If Congress tries to spare pending Pentagon cuts, will it cut children's priorities more? Will it move towards cuts in Medicaid and SNAP/food stamps? Will another fight about the debt ceiling threaten vital services for children and families even more? Who will be protected - upper-income households or families struggling to make ends meet?

All of this matters a lot. If you care about children and families - you need to know what to expect and what you can do.

Top experts will speak plainly to help make sense of all this:
