But the other extreme of your examples are also bad. No crop subsidies you get farm failures and unreliable food production. Get rid of student loans and many intelligent people end up trapped doing brainless jobs because they lack better qualifications. End gun sales and you can end up with mostly criminal organizations having all the guns and power and leave law abiding people vulnerable like much of Central and South American and large chunks of Africa. There is a good balance point in the middle in most cases, but in the case of homelessness and drug addiction one sides cause usually amounts to not helping anyone and in many times criminalizes their existence making their situation worse and more costly upon them and society as a whole than it already was.
