One of my biggest problems with the modern Democratic Party is the reliance and push for permanent welfare solutions when they should always be temporary measures.

I’ve run poverty alleviation nonprofit programs. The way you break cycles of poverty is giving people the tools and resources to succeed and get ahead - good education, good job skills, good financial literacy, stable family life and housing. Like 6 months - 1 year assistance with follow up as needed.

Modern democrats seem to want people perpetually on lifelong welfare programs like Medicaid and affordable housing which requires a certain low income level threshold. Incentivizes people in many ways to hold off on that promotion or next career move, because it’ll be more costly for them if they lose housing!

The reality is people need more tools to succeed and prosper that don’t lead to forever reliance on government funded programs. The progressive nonprofit world knows this, but the progressive left in government are detached from this.

The nonprofit left and community builders should see bitcoin as a tool for financial freedom and prosperity for working class and poor Americans. The government/political class left may fight it for the reason that it makes them less reliant on the political class…
