The new vice-president of the two parties, a group of female lawmakers in the Chamber of Deputies, Moore, the first effort to a new debate on a package of incentives to the bill with the cost of 800 million dollars to rebuild infrastructure in the country, economic aid in crisis and state governments offer tax incentives for individuals, couples and businesses.
In an interview with the women eNews, Moore said that he wants some money on the side of workers. The interview was followed by a panel discussion in Denver last summer at the Democratic National Convention, the issue of women and poverty.
"We will rebuild our roads, our bridges, is certainly a very valuable thing to stimulate the economy, he said." The danger of stereotypes that women who are not on bridges and paving roads. There was no discussion on the increase, or a living wage for women in childcare in the package of incentives. "
Two years ago, the U. S. About 15 million women living in poverty, according to 2006 census data in the Washington-based National Women's Law Center. The poverty rate is particularly high among women of color, older women and single mothers. Black and Hispanic women about two times more likely than poor white women. Approximately 1 in 5 elderly women are poor, such as 1 in 3 mothers.
The desire for women
Moore is also the desire of the list of bills aimed at reducing the wage gap and the federal programs that are aimed at combating violence in the family more money.
And they want to stab at improving the living conditions of women on welfare. She plans to take the law in which women are eligible for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families - the name for the federal social security reform in 1996 - to obtain, while the benefits that more than two years old, graduated from high school, secondary.
Shortly after he was at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wis., Moore was the single mother. She has received support from the government and eight years later, in 1978, graduated in political science. However, with every penny for themselves and their families while in school.
Currently, the Congress, which has not forgotten the problems, if it was just a teenager's mother on welfare.
"I think that the issue of women in poverty, mainly to women, he said.
Women are free
Particularly poor women face a difficult time during periods of economic recession, said Moore. Nowhere is this clearer than in urban areas, such as his hometown of Milwaukee, one of the poorest cities in the country.
Often, the last hired and first fired, women have less money and more time, without a regular income. If you have a job that is less likely than men to have fewer benefits or part-time. Richtfest so many jobs women are generally not covered by unemployment.
Women are also more likely to work, responsibility for caring for family members, and earn less than men in comparable jobs. Women also save money in fewer and smaller pensions or retirement accounts.
And while some are better than men to credit, women have a disproportionately high share of cost "subprime" loans, creating a high risk of rejection, according to the report of 2006 Allen Fishbein, a scholar at the Consumer Federation of America, a think-tank and lobby in Washington, DC
The financial problems are more acute for single women and women paint.
"When you have these problems, you see that women are too bad," said Moore.
Nevertheless, the government crushed the grid for poor women, when they considered the system of social protection in 1996, he said.
This year, President Bill Clinton was the Republican Congress took personal responsibility and work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, a law that the payments in connection with the execution - including the recipients to attend the event - not as a necessity. The law was reauthorized in 2004.
Eliminates Network Security
"If the well-being, as we know, which basically ends with unemployment among women, said Moore.
Thus he became the first office was in 2004, Moore tried to undo some changes in the well-being before their arrival.
In his first year in Congress, Moore pushed the bill right to the protection of the identity of the victims of domestic violence, residential dwellings. Flame Shield, the law provides shelter for the victims' information to the government.
"The new law will provide (Housing and Urban Development) regulations do not permit the location and identity of victims of domestic violence in shelters for abuse or murder," said Moore, at a time when the law.
In a sense, the future looks bright for Moore's anti-poverty programs.
Now Democrats control House, Senate and White House for the first time since 1994. And the economic downturn has convinced even fiscal conservatives to support more government spending.
But Moore acknowledged that the fight for federal dollars harder than ever to the federal budget deficit.
"I think it will be difficult," he said. "There is money. There is no money."
