As a general rule, I'd say many of our programs intended to assist the poor aren't very effective at all, largely because none of them provide any assistance whatsoever on how to improve going forward. How to actually budget, cook at home, etc etc.
I'm by NO means suggesting stopping these programs, but I think it's absurd that we just leave the people in the dust when it comes to truly trying to help them improve their situation (and just handing even more money to them DOES NOT WORK). It might get them a meal for another day, but it doesn't bring them out of poverty.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
