If the French welfare state, by far the most expansive on the planet (France spends around a third of its GDP on social expenses), is too small for you, you will be sour for the rest of your life, because your demands are unrealistic.
In practice, most people including me prefer to spread public spending into various projects, and yes, that means that the homeless don't get an absolute priority.
I suspect that you, in your private life, do precisely the same. If you wanted to live your preached values, you would have to live Mother Theresa-like life of ascetism, spending your days and your income to help the poor instead of buying yourself nice electronic gadgets and eating good food.
Do you do that? If not, why do you complain about the rest of the world not doing it either?
