> increased social services and poverty interventions

In the US this is the job of local government, though the federal DoE does it's part (eg. Special Ed faculty salaries are underwritten by the Federal DoE).

There is increased support for these kinds of policies across the aisles through a mix of "early childhood equity" (D leaning) and "increased fertility" (R leaning) policies and talking points.

> In the US this is the job of local government

Because local governments in the US have vastly different resources (and potential talent pools), I think those words may be a nice way to admit "it's a structural issue that shan't be addressed anytime soon".
