Kimberly Stewart | Whose job is it to fix the spending gap for children?
Blame is not a useful response to a structural problem. A problem is structural when it is built into the rules, the incentives, and the institutional design of a system; it persists regardless of who holds any particular office because the conditions that produce it remain unchanged. Jamaica's gap between what it spends on children and what children actually receive is that kind of problem. The right question is not who is responsible. The right question is, what, precisely, needs to change?
