There is the seen, and the unseen.
What you are not seeing is the cost transfer onto the backs of the very people you propose to help. Every government program bears a cost, and the cost of those programs is always transferred to the final consumer, either via higher prices, or absence of employment opportunities. High income earners, like many of us here, find this a nuisance. Those at median income levels find their lives quite affected. Those well below median income find life impossible.
If a tax or regulation increases production costs, the business owners don't ordinarily pay those costs, they just raise their prices to recover those costs, to the point they can no longer be competitive with international providers of those products. Those domestic entities either close up shop, or they move production overseas. So...prices go up, and opportunities for gainful employment go down.
I *strongly* encourage you to read Friedman, Hazlitt, von Mises, Hayek, Bastiat, and a host of others. Much of that reading is available for FREE at
https://fee.org/. Start with Henry Hazlitt's "Economics in One Lesson." It's short, maybe 100 total pages, and written in plain English, unlike the Keynesian/Marxist gibberish designed to confuse, and only amounts to so much navel-gazing. Reading very much of any of those guys will lead you to discover the futility of those things for which you are currently an advocate.
If you want to understand why that social safety net not only doesn't work, but (more importantly) is utterly immoral, then read Ayn Rand for good measure.
