Quote of the Day – October 4, 2012
“Again, poor children remain politically invisible,” said Irwin Redlener, a pediatrician, president of Children’s Health Fund and professor at Columbia University. “In a debate focused on the economy, it would have been entirely appropriate to ask about plans to deal with poverty in general — and poverty among children in particular. For those who are legitimately worried about cutbacks in vital safety net programs for children during this economic downturn, this debate fell short.” -Excerpted from Jonathan Capehart’s article, “Poverty goes missing at Denver debate” originally published on the Washington Post website.
