How many desperate Americans do you think got there because of "lifestyle beyond their means"?
10%? 50%? 90%?

You are not making it clear. You say people who are desperate deserved it. I ask you how many people do you think that actually applies.
i am not saying people who are desperate deserve it.

i am saying there 2 types of desperate people.

Those who are desperate through no fault of their own (medical emergency, natural disaster).

Those who are desperate because they did make the wrong choice (bad career decision, becoming a parent as a teen, living beyond their means).

Help the first as much as possible but only give the most minimal assistance to the 2nd.
