Don't you see that this strategy basically amounts to yelling at poor people "Stop being so poor about shit" "Just unpoor yourself"

No. The reason that 71% say their living paycheck to paycheck is because of their debt. They're facing the consequences of their actions.

And saying "they just need to do better" is not a reasonable solution. Reasonable solutions in that realm can be made. Like making financial education part of a national curriculum, the state paying for basic financial advisement for those who are willing, but saying "quit having so much debt, just manage it better, dingus" as a way to replace the systems we have now is ridiculously reductive and just plain stupid and heartless as a solution.
