I assume you mean some other countries? There are too many countries to have a proper understanding of each of them. If you're looking at developed first world countries, there are many examples where homeless people are practically non existant, and you never have to worry about things like healthcare or schooling from a financial viewpoint, or if you're unfortunate enough to be unemployed, the welfare system doesn't force you to use the restrictive and humiliating foodstamps that are in the US. |
I'm comparing all countries when I talk about the poor and every level of poor. The poor in developed countries live like kings compared to the poor in less developed countries.
Honestly, the welware system here is so good that people don't want to get off of it. Many people are abusing it to the point that we're gonna have to make it more restrictive, harder to get and to have an ultimate time limit someone can be on it eventually. There's nothing wrong with humiliating others as a form of punishment or a way to dissuade people from an activity.
I saw grocery reciepts of people used their food stamps to buy everything from lobsters to steaks.
