Inflation

Inflation is taking a toll on low income households, and rent is the biggest culprit. While the Federal Reserve tinkers with interest rates to get it under control, that doesn't help those whose rent doubled after the bank bailouts of 2008-9 put $2 trillion in the hands of venture capitalists to speculate on real estate.

The U.S. Government thus exacerbated homelessness, which, a decade later, has become a national crisis. 

Burnout

Student loan debt forgiveness for healthcare workers is stalled in Congress, but it's the only way to keep and recruit medical personnel at a time when many are quitting from burnout. Complaining about the cost of funding medical education is a bit disingenuous when Congress falls all over itself bailing out banks, allowing the rich to not pay taxes, and bleeding the U.S. Treasury for the oil wars.
