For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Expanding-Work-Requirements-in-Non-Cash-Welfare-Programs.pdf\">in a 66-page report on victory over poverty,<\/a> the Trump administration declared the major problem that remained unresolved was\u00a0 moral declination among the population (e.g. self-sufficiency), which resulted in resources being distributed to poor-but-could-have-been-better households. <a href=\"https:\/\/nonprofitquarterly.org\/the-deserving-and-undeserving-poor-a-persistent-frame-with-consequences\/\">Many pointed out<\/a> that such framing tied welfare programs with a policy beneficiary\u2019s ability to perform victimhood and deservedness to earn sympathy and help. It also precluded important discussions about barriers that prevented people\u2019s entry into the market in the first place, or how the economy needed people, but was never for people. For example, economic conditions could trap people in a cycle of poverty despite intergenerational effort of hard work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assumptions that certain members of society are the responsibility of public policy, while some are not. Those who adopt the lens of undeservedness hold a world view that one\u2019s vulnerability is a result of one\u2019s own doing.
