The federal government owns about 623 million acres of land. A 2015 paper from the Bureau of Economic Analysis estimated the 464 million acres of land in the contiguous 48 states was worth an average of $4,100 per acre, for a total of $1.8 trillion.Jun 29, 2020

And, the raped the land from the original indigenous inhabitants calling them such as Mexicans, indian and native American and do nothing to provide free brick homes for everyone on Earth built by true masons, free from mortgage, free from rent, free from taxation free from governmental terrorism and free from "religious" theocracy oppression.

  1. The number of homeless in the US is estimated at 552,830. With around half a million individuals living in a state of homelessness, things are not looking great. Still, on the bright side, it is a small percentage compared to the overall US population — which counts over 327.2 million.Apr 22, 2021

I do not think that it is a question of throwing money at child poverty because to date it has not solved what is clearly an ongoing issue. There seems to be vested interests in keeping the population poor in some countries. Vested interests that are fuelled by unfettered greed of the leaders of some countries and a measure of collusion with the governments of other countries who make 'charitable donations' most of which never reach the impoverished beneficiaries.

Ostensibly, so-called wealthy nations make financial, food and medicine donations to other countries but somehow are unable to address the poverty and homelessness within their own countries. A clear case of charity abroad and spite at home if ever there was one. It all serves to give the impression of benevolent benefactors.

True a lot of that happens, and most of the motivation is about public image. But the Catholic Church is an exception to that, because of course it has its own infrastructure which is down on the ground already, so that it could, if it wished, deliver aid directly where it is needed, as it does some, but only just enough to keep up that public image again, no more.

And the Vatican has most of its support, including a lot of income, from the poorest and least educated regions of the world. So they helped to create that poverty and ignorance in the first place.

Hypocrisy

There is that wealth thing.
There is also the fact that a cloistered, supposedly celibate person has no more concept of the dynamics of sexual intimacy and family trip wires than I do about how it feels to be a hydrogen atom.

If you have all that money and do not help solve child poverty you keep your control and get more money from those who think you are helping children.

The United States spends $800,000,000,000 per year on anti-poverty programs, and the United States has not "solved" child poverty in the United States. How could the Vatican "solve" child poverty with only $25,000,000,000 dollars?
