Even if instability didn't happen, social return on investment studies almost always show that putting money into providing for the poor is cheaper than putting money into dealing with the results of poor people being neglected, which is primarily crime, but also counting disease. I don't know how those numbers would work out on a national scale though, but I assume it would be reasonably close.
