“Being dismantled before our eyes are not just individual programs that politicians cite as too expensive but the whole idea that society has a stake in the well-being of children down the block and the security of families on the other side of town.

It is also a responsibility of society—but now apparently a diminishing one.”
—Richard B. Stolley (20th century)
