Recession is a natural cycle...under capitalism. Our current capitalist system is literally designed to undergo a cycle of recessions every few years (called the "boom-bust cycle") as a means of further consolidating wealth into the pockets of the already wealthy elites. That is why poorer people suffer during recessions yet the wealthiest owners get richer. Our system is literally designed to be this way, because this system is not good.

Wage slavery, poverty, and homelessness are all parts of capitalism. Capitalism gives free reign to businesses to inflate prices and markets as it sees fit. And then the businesses create problems every few years to condense the money, it's true. Capitalism needs to be repealed and replaced.

I disagree that this is a valid reason to not provide much needed assistance to all citizens suffering due to the recession.
