As to Simone, I agree that she is busy...but she has commented on occasion on NCR and the idea of using one of her staff is a fine idea....

The problem I see..and have experienced is that the media, Catholic or otherwise, really doesn't understand the nuances and interfaces of programs like EITC...

I used to take local reporters out to lunch and bring along a one page fact sheet (more, they wouldn't read) and try to explain whatever the entitlement issue of the moment was....

A number of years ago the NCR...very briefly,  had a Hill staffer as a commenter on such federal issues and I loved it!

FINALLY They had someone who actually knew what they were talking about and wrote well....

I would love it if the NCR hired a pro to do their Poverty articles...!!!
