Yep, those government programs that "step in" are called welfare and
prison... there is no way to legislate a conscience in those who don't care
for themselves let alone others... it's far better for society as a whole to
abandon the miscreants and instead concentrate efforts and resources on
those who are appreciative of greater learning who will eventually give back
more than they receieved... in the finality a far, FAR wiser investment than
throwing good money after bad..
