> they usually focus on spending money instead of giving money to people who need it

From my perspective, the issue is that a lot of politicians operate as goal-oriented rather than systems-oriented problem solvers.

Many government programs generally operate as "give a man food" rather than "teach that man to fish".

It's no wonder that many problems are far further from being solved despite decades of cash pumped into them.

PS: If you're feeling butt-hurt about a comment, I welcome constructive feedback. Downvotes are fine, but do nothing to enhance mutual understanding. Tell me why goals are better than systems: I'd love to understand what the issue is.
