A century ago, it was mostly charities and churches that were looked to to provide help for those in need. Today many look to governments to provide help for the needy and many are failing to do an adequate job. Was having the governments step in to help a mixed motive undertaking? Was the goal to create further distance between the donors and the recipients?

It is very much the case that assuming that government should take over responsibility as caregivers would be a good solution for all the reasons we have discussed. People struggling to survive are having a spiritual struggle as much as a physical and emotional one. A godless, loveless governmental body that strictly governs dollars and cents according to a set of laws and arcane rules is ill-equipped to have the flexibility and the heart to see what is truly needed and provide meaningful solutions. This is not to say nothing good comes of government, it is only that it is poorly equipped to do spiritual work and that is a large part of what is needed to help people with life dilemmas of all kinds. They are struggling because they have a spiritual problem as much as anything else and in many cases it will be the predominant deficit causing the difficulty. This is why "throwing money at the problem," as the term has been described, rarely works. There needs to be a higher wisdom brought to bear. You can’t purchase humanity and you cannot cultivate that in people by giving them money. There need to be better teachers, better mentors and life coaches, better role models, and better institutions that use people for their talent more than their pedigree and give opportunities for people to do things in divine alignment in service to others as that will serve themselves. People can be saved from dire circumstances and supported and put to work helping others like themselves. There is no better way than helping someone else who suffers to find a way to one’s own recovery. This is a principle that has worked time and again but it does require intelligence and some oversight to be sure things are on track by people with the wisdom to manage it effectively. There are many such approaches that can be far more powerful in helping across the board than anything that has been tried heretofore. People are constrained by mind control manipulation to work within systems and organizational constraints that are arbitrary and designed purposely to limit getting positive results and reducing productivity rather than fostering it. Such systems become disheartening and soul-deadening after a time and as people are manipulated to be complacent while participating in their own disempowerment, the system eventually grinds to a halt or becomes so dysfunctional along the way that the overseers rebel, or the public in complaining to legislators because they see too many examples of waste and mismanagement seemingly. The problem is much deeper, that the very goals and infrastructure of government is corrupt from top to bottom. This has been seen to by the interlopers to devise an apparatus that simply does not work and convince the participants they are doing what is needed and appropriate and being that there may be no other options, all are left with the consequences even though unsatisfactory. There will need to be a quite serious overhaul from top to bottom of society and institutions across the board to purge themselves of this overlay of manipulation that misdefines, misleads, mischaracterizes, and misapplies resources to either do the wrong things, or do them in the wrong way, and sometimes to the wrong recipients in not being able to differentiate levels of need and underlying reasons, and without the resources for true deep and lasting healing many proposed solutions will be a holding action at best and are doomed to fail because people cannot change what is broken that needs to be replaced within them. That will need divine help and government is helpless on that front being non-divine.
