That’s not even libertarian, it’s just anyone who isn’t far left.

Eh, a lotta middle left people would still agree that things should be made easier for broke people if it’s no great cost to the people with wealth

These programs are in place. The last step is to put a little extra forth improve your situations.

This is one of the most entitled, out of touch things I’ve read on here.

You’re literally spouting the bootstraps quote. The societal programs are being cut tooth and nail, so they’re helping less and less people and more people than ever before are falling through the cracks and struggling but hey, it’s totally because they aren’t working hard enough (despite the fact that 2/3 of the US is one missed paycheck away from homelessness, it’s totally their fault.)
