420 | Nikhil Goyal: Child Poverty Doubled Last Year - What Does that Mean for Our Safety Net?
Nikhil Goyal, former Senior Policy for Education and Children for Senator Bernie Sanders and author of Live to See the Day: Coming of Age in American Poverty, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Nikhil discuss why the child poverty rate experienced its greatest single-year increase on record last year, the role of COVID-era governmental support in reducing the poverty rate, his multi-year ethnographic study of poor children in Philadelphia, and his ultimate belief that America's poverty status-quo is a policy choice.
