Throwing money at poverty is the perfect solution to the problem. Poor people with money spend it; it’s generative for the entire economy. Micro-finance in poor areas around the world, especially when the money is given to mothers, creates wealth, industry, and better heath and education outcomes.
But facts are immaterial. With these guys, it’s always deflection. The situation IS a moral failure, just not of people who happen to be poor. Christian nationalists worship a man who demanded extreme charity without judgement. This is their justification.
The fact that people are in poverty-stricken situations is not their fault unless they were formerly rich people who spent themselves into the gutter without understanding the consequences. In Black "ghetto" neighborhoods in particular poverty is an inherited social and financial condition as much as it is being in dire straits.
