Gina Raimondo revives the " Children's Cabinet "

" Children's Cabinet " reconvenes  Can  any intelligent reader of this short NPR " news " bit fail to see the silly phoniness of it ? This " Children's Cabinet " has not met in a decade. Has the original staff been living on unemployment security or " savings ". Could this " Children's Cabinet " be THEIR way out of poverty ? Does that establishment persona Elizabeth Roberts need some chump change ? But she has only to come up with a FIVE YEAR PLAN. Meanwhile " child welfare matters ".
Do you need an advanced degree in sociology to see that children are poor because their parents are poor ? Any Bernie Sanders fans in this " Children's Cabinet ". ?
Why not just restore " Romper Room " on local TV ? That will at least entertain the kids during the Five Year Plan.
Of course, " child welfare matters " in the same way that " black lives matter ". Perhaps Hillary Clinton has a plan to end child poverty, racism, sexism, and middle class free fall - while also " saving capitalism ".
But she might be wise to make Elizabeth Roberts a member of her own " Kitchen Cabinet " . And Senator Thomas Izzo can bake and serve the cookies.
