That's far from enough... But regardless. The discussion of who is at fault for poverty is pointless. We should never tolerate poverty regardless of how it came to be. The discussion has to be: Can we afford to have poverty? We need people to be productive members of society. This can be achieved by making good choices easier to make. Making it easier to get back on your feet when you get down... Health care, mental health, social security are ways to help people become productive members of society. You can't afford not to help people! You can't afford to tolerate poverty!
