Those issues may not be solved, and indeed may be exacerbated, when you hand those people a check.

Dollars thrown at the problem never did or never will solve this problem.
The answer is education, values and morals.
Until the parents and elders take an interest and take part in their kids education, teach the values and morals which lead to self esteem and pride in work, it will never be solved.
The ONLY thing free stuff does is buy votes and promote dependence. Anybody who believes differntly has their head in the sand.
