Economic policies since Reagan have had a negative effect on America, but they particularly affect the Children. Democrats and Lame Stream Media do not fight hard enough for our children or they simply neglect the effects so called compassionate conservatism has had on the working poor and especially on the children.
'The Decade of Lost Children' By Charles M. Blow
"The number of children living in poverty has increased by four million since 2000, and the number of children who fell into poverty between 2008 and 2009 was the largest single-year increase ever recorded."
America has lost its soul and replaced it with greed and the worship of corporate power. "As a report issued last week by the nonpartisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities points out: Of the 47 states with newly enacted budgets, 38 or more states are making deep, identifiable cuts in K-12 education, higher education, health care, or other key areas in their budgets for fiscal year 2012." http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/06/opinion/the-decade-of-lost-children.html?src=me&ref=general
"Its hard to see how we emerge from this downturn and its tumult a stronger nation if we allow vast swatches of our children to be lost. My fear is that we may not."
"Do not waste your time on Social Questions. What is the matter with the poor is Poverty; what is the matter with the rich is Uselessness." George Bernard Shaw

Nonsense. The Constitution says we all have the right to have taxpayer-financed children.
Right, USMB lefties?

For conservatives this is not an issue – if children are lost due to poverty or other economic factors, so be it – it’s an acceptable consequence and will serve as an incentive for others to do better.
Conservatives believe humans are motivated by only two factors: fear and greed.
Who speaks for children?
Republicans.
At least until they get born.
*lola* If only.... we did think more of the children than of the adults. It seems we are forever tiptoeing around adult feelings and insecurities while children are expected to adjust to whatever befalls upon them.
OK, I'm willing to admit that you live with and know a lot more about bullcrap than I ever will, but I'm not talking about that. Actual historical records of financial net worth show kids are richer. Enrollment and test scores show higher educational levels. Actuary tables show life expectancy has increased. Divorce rates have fallen. The only thing worse is your feelings but that's more a matter of choice than reality.Bullcrap!......Today's twenty-somethings are more wealthy, better educated, are healthier, and have more stable families than their parents did...
The heartless republicans and conservatives of today flat out astound me, not one intelligent reply from any of them. While Social Darwinism as an economic and political concept died long ago, the self centered greed of SD lives on in the American right.
While the OP was about America it is estimated that 150 million live and work in sweatshops and enslavement. How many here purchase Nike for instance? Here is a piece on the sweatshop policies of Nike. Frequently Asked Questions
While the right wing in America worships at the corporate trough and bows to big money, there are people in this world who do fight for the children. Get the word out.
'Who Represents the Poor?' by Pranab Bardhan
"In the last few decades, labor unions have become weaker everywhere. Increased global competition is eroding the revenues that capital used to share with organized labor, and the outflow of investments abroador even the credible threat of ithas made union positions precarious.
But in much of the developing world, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have partly filled the gap by enrolling groups of (often informal) workers in microfinance and social-insurance programs, delivering health and education services, agitating against the abuse of human rights and environmental degradation, and empowering disadvantaged social groups such as women and indigenous people. Where unions stressed worker rights, the emphasis has now shifted to citizens rights to minimum dignity, livelihood, and socially guaranteed protection. This is a major advance in social movements over the narrow goals of union workers because the overwhelming majority of workers and peasants in poor countries do not belong to unions." Boston Review — Pranab Bardhan: Who Represents the Poor?
