First Focus, a national bipartisan child advocacy organization, has a fact sheet that provides a first look at how children fare in his budget proposal. The group says, “In total, the President’s spending proposal would result in children receiving a $16.8 billion boost over fiscal year 2010 budget levels, an increase of 6%.”
