That's assuming that not having to struggle pay check to pay check won't create more opportunities for people to study and create value. Just look at countries like Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Norway, Austria etc.

I worked for a German company in Austria in my early 20's. I lived more or less pay check to pay check (also happened to be they best years of my life).

Sine then I have worked reasonably hard, and created a career for myself. I don't enjoy my work like I did in those days. I am not rich, but I don't worry about money.

What would you suggest gets done?

What you describe is anecdotal. As my German teacher once said: "If you're homeless in Germany, you really want to be homeless". I've never been to US, but watching "Invisible People" on YouTube helps to paint a picture.
