... or leave them with nothing to lose, open to exploitation from extremists either via brainwashing or simply by paying them which will cost us more.

It always gets me when we have things like chidren in need and stuff where we have to raise money for them causes. and when you look at how much was raised and compare it to how much we (the government) give to other countries. it's a bit disgusting because it's only a fraction of it.
even without that, you hear them saying we can't afford this and that, and we will be closing this and that whilst they're handing out the money that they couldn't afford to keep the other things running and left open.
