Chad:
I think your analogy holds. It’s a tragedy in a different way, but certainly the governmental money point is valid?throwing money at a situation is not the same as recovering from a loss or fixing a problem.
Intelligence, compassion, hard work, responsible behavior, and even acceptance in a bad situation can probably all contribute to some betterment of people’s lives, even without additional money to spend. But money without any of the foregoing, especially when dispensed by government agencies, is simply a political gambit.
