Egyptians have dared to protest demanding that military ruler al-Sisi step down. He sold out the country to the IMF and the people are feeling the burden.

The cause of Egypt's poverty is inequality (due to plutocracy and corruption) colliding with population growth. The IMF is an instrument of plutocracy and corruption.

In one sense, the Egyptian people are at fault for having too many children. But it is people as a whole that is at fault; the individual Egyptians compose that people and yet at the same time are subject to it, as it drags them all under.

The situation in the US is only partly different.
