What to tell nationalists that don't like welfare

At least it is happening in the third world

LBJ’s great society at this point has been tested and a massive overhaul to create systems like FDR’s PWA would require another world war. The idea of a simplistic answer to America’s economic problems is a silly one. Education is on its fourth overhaul, with its answer being a deeper delve into standardized testing and curriculum development. Poverty’s solution is in the cutting of funding and the establishment of voucher a bureau based systems. The solution to America’s health problems, instead of funding or infrastructure, is more exercise and better food choice. Exclusion and survivability are the focus of this models, with the largest outcome being a culling of America’s poor and less capable. On the bright side, other countries are receiving massive quantities of what America lacks.

Education

America scores dramatically behind most first world countries in science, math, and writing scores. The American educational infrastructure is also facing a combination of standardization and budget cuts. As a system, education has been money intensive as well. The combination is a hyperbolic combination of students a research subjects and resource bottlenecking. Schools funded by UN and Unicef budgets operate on a different paradigm.

School is competitive and exclusionary, IE elitist or Jeffersonian. Students earn their place in school, and school is something that can be lost. Curriculum is directly based on the student's jobs or development as citizens. Advancement is based solely on scores and need. Funding for these schools is solely used to expand the capability of the school to house more students. The result is a student that is dramatically more capable and motivated. People throw money at education because it goes to food and books. As this model is expanded, so does the capability of a dramatically underutilized workforce. The limit right now is the lack of computers and later skills based education. This has become the focus in countries like India and South Africa. These countries are in the process of receiving their H1B visa students back, IE super skilled workers.

Food, Medicine, and Social Welfare

The classic argument against food and social welfare spending is it undercuts local markets. The global solution has been minimalistic aid with market focuses. Massive spending on the infrastructure of countries has been a UN focus for some time. In countries with developing markets, people can seek investors for localized projects that have lower bars to entry and dramatically less competition. The result is food and services in countries with no market competition. Companies and workforces grow dramatically faster in these markets. Medicine and food aid are handled similarly.

Aid and medicine are handled on a local level as well. Traveling nurses are trained from local populations and the construction of local health infrastructure is preferred to the usage of traveling and triage units. Preventative and educational programs help to cover behavioral choices, and the development of hospitals and nursing leads to longer lived populations living on less. The result is third world populations with first world lifespans/lifestyles. The resource cost of said lifestyle is left to be seen (energy and production will play a hhuuuuggge part of humanity development in the 21st century)

The Result

The resulting populations have dramatically higher competition in less competitive and more accessible markets. Resources, space, and political will is also an untapped resource of many third world countries. As third world markets nationalize and begin to compete with first world businesses, the space and economic surge that will emerge from 20th century's attitude of “white man’s burden” is going to leave a good portion of the first world in the dust.
