The discussion about poor people has been rather
interesting, but no one has gotten to the real 
meat of the subject.

We (the USA) have been spending more on poor people
then any society in history.  But the percentages 
have remained about the same, except for on notable
figure.  The more we spend on poor people, the more
poor people we create!

Some one here flamed the libertarians pretty badly,
with a phrase something like; "They never look at the
consequences." (sorry if I paraphrased too badly).

I'm not a libertarian, but it seems they have the right
idea.  If we spend less on poor people, then we will 
have less poor people.

Anyway, lets see some other solutions to this problem,
since throwing gobs of money at it hasn't worked.
