Psalm 69:22 Applied

This is an application and possibly not a good one. As I was reading the psalm, the following occurred to me.

********

Psalm 69:22 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.

The "war on poverty" has been going for generations in America. We never really did have a big problem of dirt-poor type poverty, but look at how well we have cured American-style poverty (a.k.a. lower middle class/below poverty line living): Entire families for two and three generations that have NEVER worked an honest job. They couldn't survive without "welfare" payments if they tried. Not that they would ever try. They are trapped.

This outcome is not undesirable, depending on who's opinion you ask. I think it is a disaster.
