People like to blame the politicians for what’s happening. However the politicians are not electing themselves.

The problem is the people who with great intentions make things worse. Wait a few minutes until someone posts that “statistically it doesn’t happen and you are wrong”.

What you mean is social policy is mostly an excuse for expanding government, and government control. And "helping with root causes" always means expanding government departments, rather than, for example, dealing with housing shortages.
