I have been challenged more than one time by saying schools owe the children the education to keep them out of financial hot water. And pointed out that includes goal setting and correct planning. And putting all in writing.
The economical well being of all citizens, including the youth needs to be addressed at the school level. A rigorous course in the final years of high school could easily handle the problem.
It is true that far too many citizens lack the clear understanding of those items, goal setting and planning and the value they give to all using them.
The public education system has evolved into thinking they are prep schools. They don't want to admit that they can not achieve that. More than half the children in public schools are not candidates for college. These kids fall through the cracks and are swept under the rug. Years ago when the United States was number one in education, they had auto shop, industrial training, home ed and other classes that were geared toward kids that were not headed to college. The saddest part of this is their is a great demand for people with these skills.
How many times have we heard the story of the kid that had nothing growing up and that created a fire in his belly to succeed in life?
I wonder where that has gone.
It is not moral issue
It is a contractual obligation. The same responsibility that business's and individuals have when they enter contracts. People and business's some times can not pay their contractual obligations, sometimes they go broke and declare bankruptcy. If that is not counted as a moral failing then neither should not being able to pay ones rent. If one expects the renter to pay rent first and starve the same should expectation should be held towards business's and their owners

'Government Needs to Step In': Food Banks Across US Report Unprecedented Demand—and Shortages—as Coronavirus Pandemic Ravages | Common Dreams News
"We're seeing people from every socio-economic level because the majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck."
As 6.6 million Americans filed jobless claims last week—part of at least 10 million people in the U.S. who are out of work in the last two weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic—increasingly long lines at food banks across the country offered another grim illustration of the financial realities faced by the poor and working classes in the United States.
According to an investigation by The Guardian, demand at food banks has increased by eight times in some areas. About a third of people interviewed by the outlet at food banks last month had never before needed food assistance.
Well, maybe the governors of our states should stop crippling this nation.

They should stop handing it out to people who are here illegally. They make up the majority of their customers.

I expect food banks limit the amount of food prole get per month
