Frank's Musings

The reduced budget for the Head Start program, proposed by the Trump administration, is only a gratuitous change that merely reduces its supposed burden on wealthier taxpayers.  Sure, a briefer babysitting service would be cheaper than Head Start; but at the cost or shirking its original goal under the Great Society objectives of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations.

It reflects the failure of those wealthy, like Trump, who have benefited by lucky birth to meet their obligation to help others, who don't have access to great wealth, take advantage of opportunity.  Trump does not recognize that those with great wealth must perform, and not resent, their essential role in leveling the playing field.
