                                              Child support payments are often the only rope holding a child above the poverty line. Now imagine that the successful federal program binding that rope is cut — so severely that one Wisconsin community must resort to holding a raffle to fill the hole left in their budget.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.couleenews.com/articles/2007/03/22/opinion/06kohl.txt"><DIV>The child support enforcement program collects outstanding payments and funds other activities aimed at getting child support to the families who need it.
