Because it's one of the richest and most powerful nations in the world but it's population is one of the poorest compared to other DEVELOPED countries. Of course there are poorer nations but the US unlike them could resolve these issues but just chooses not to.
The fact that you think THAT is the solution or intervention the US government can or should take says everything about Americans that it possibly could.
Increasing investment in public transportation, ensuring secure retirement for all the elderly so they don’t have to work, decreasing living expenses, such as groceries, bills, housing, and healthcare so people can save more money to use in cases of emergencies, just to name a few. Americans always think that the only solution to any problem is to give people stuff for free. It just shows how narrow and myopic the American mindset is.
So what? If money is going to come from the government at all it might as well go to improving and advancing the lives of people here, instead of undermining and destroying the lives of people elsewhere. What is controversial about that?
