Dear reader,

For our special issue on how economic policy models create
barriers to action, we wanted someone on the front lines of
policymaking, who has seen the damaging effects of having to legislate
in a distorted environment.

Today, Senator Elizabeth Warren writes for the Prospect about how our
current budgetary models prevent legislators from designing policies
that meet working people's needs. They work for those who want to
shrink our government's capacity down to the bare minimum, but are
wholly inadequate to solve the crises of our time-including, as
Senator Warren describes, the need for universal child care and
early-childhood education for all. You can read Senator Warren's piece
here.
