Kids' Share 2010: Report on Federal Expenditures on Children



Kids' Share 2010: Report on Federal Expenditures on Children through 2009 is an annual report that looks comprehensively at long-time and recent trends in federal spending and tax expenditures on children.

  • In 2009, this trend continued, as children's spending accounted for less than one-tenth of federal outlays. 
  • Even though the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provided a temporary boost, children's spending will continue to be squeezed in the next decade:
