How do we deal with this now? If you have a job, and you spend all your money before you pay your rent, how do we help those people out? I'm not aware of any government institutions that will pay your rent for you. If you spend all the money you have on food, I suppose you can get food stamps, but most likely you go to a soup kitchen.

I guess I'm wondering if there is any data on how many people "blow all their money and now can't afford rent and/or food", and how we help them now.
