Tackle vs. handle
Hi,
what's the difference between the words "tackle" and "handle"? They both describe dealing with a problem, right? I can't distinguish between them.
Which one to use in the following sentence?
The government has failed to tackle / handle the question of homelessness.
Thank you in advance!
