Trump is right on this one. Why did all of those children (and their parents) choose to live in poverty? Why didn't they pick to be born into rich families where their fathers could give them millions to lose in unsuccessful businesses? And since Trump wants to do away with all safety net programs, we no longer need to think about the fact that early childhood education programs increase the odds that poor children will grow up to complete more schooling and be more gainfully employed and uninvolved with the criminal justice system than those who don't participate. Moreover, how can Jonathan Cohn recommend that the Trump administration should do research about the most effective ways of providing high quality programs yielding very positive outcomes for children and society in stead of just cutting the programs? Cohn knows that Trump has not appointed anyone with educational expertise to relevant departments. Nor does he and his inner cabal care about facts the future as long as Trump can make as much money as possible and preserve big tax cuts for the already rich. As the head of World Wrestling Entertainment, Linda McMahon has the skills to bring MAGA - Make America GROAN Again - to the nation's classrooms.
