an e-mail newsletter from Congressman Marsha Blackburn,
and
found they are very close to passing what looks like a major
improvement to incentives to states for their CS programs:

>Child Support Enforcement. Savings of $4.899 billion in 2006-10.
Makes
changes to Child Support Enforcement, some of which cost money by
increasing the amount of collections which are passed through to the
custodial parents. Two changes result in substantial savings. Those
are
eliminating the federal match when states spend CSE incentive
payments,
saving $1.6 billion; and phasing in a reduction in the federal
matching rate
for administrative expenses from 66% to 50%, which saves $3.8
billion.  
Rep. Blackburn

The bill this is contained in is called the "Deficit Reduction Act of
2005".  The rest of the bill isn't related to family law, but it
looks
good too.  This would be a great time to contact your congressman or
woman, and ask them to support this legislation, and also to
completely
defund VAWA which is a waste of about a billion dollars a year.
