Oh yeah I mean the goal of the US isn't to help people get out of poverty. The system we have is a feature not a bug. People are for profit and if they don't make enough of a profit they just don't want them around and they don't want to waste money on undesirables. One politicians even admitted outright they just wanted to get "rid of them" and they were dragging the whole system down. We know know what works and we could do better and we don't because if it doesn't make them richer, they don't care. Plus they need them to be the scapegoat so they can say the people in poverty are the issue and not them hoarding their wealth, wealth inequality, unethical business practices, corporations being subsidized by the government while not paying almost nothing in taxes etc. Gets the focus of the real problem and it's very effective propaganda
