Many children who had the advantage of head start were followed. The findings were conclusive. It gave them an advantage. My daughter went to head start. DANG we were poor. She blossomed. She also did well in school, and graduated with honors from UCLA.

Unless you've lived poverty, abject poverty, it's hard to understand what a child misses, that the middle class take for granted with their children. My family and I weren't supposed to make it, by the odds. But because decent people understood that once you''ve hit bottom, getting up again is nearly impossible, we were given a chance. The result? My children and I have given back more in taxes and jobs (through our businesses) than the average American ever dreamed of. We paid our debt, and we contributed more than our share. It's an investment for a society to give a damn about its people. ALL of its people. Anything else can't be called a viable society.
