Excerpt from Brandeis Review, Vol. 6: Fall 1986 Growing up with enough money is becoming increasingly difficult for many American children. Their economic hardships would be serious, but at least understandable, if they resulted mostly from a deep recession and high unemployment. The troubling fact is that we can blame only part of the worsening economic status of children on impersonal, macroeconomic difficulties. The insensitivity of government is another easy target. Yet again the blame lies elsewhere, since the real value of government outlays on social programs for low income families has increased over the last 15 years.
