When I was growing up, my family of 7 lived off of half what I earn now as a struggling PhD student. Policies kept my siblings and me out of poverty and in school. So when I read lines of policies, budgets, or legalese, what I see are people's lives. "Every child is born with potential, but not every child is born with opportunity." If America is going to be a land of opportunity, we have to make sure our policies reflect our values.
