Reading through the article on whether or not the poor can be trusted listed a couple studies in which they absolutely could in other countries. I believe that sending help to them is about more than trusting poor people with money. I think sending money and aid is about helping them to stay alive. There is always a gamble involved in whether or not they will finish school or die early from a health problem because of events that can’t be accounted for. American poor is obviously different from most of the bottom billion poor, though there is still a struggle. I think that the difference is that in the other countries, they don’t expect help or aid, so they make the most of what they get, while here in America it is expected that someone will be taken care of if they are hungry or homeless. That makes it seem like there is almost no point in trying once you have hit a certain level of poor. In that sense I think that every country needs to independently study what works best for them because as I’ve said in a previous post, it all depends on who you are entrusting, and what you are entrusting them with.
