If the goal is is to solve poverty in our republic it should be accomplished as effectively as the full faith and credit of public acts of the United States can make it.

I can want to do alot of things. For instance i really really want to have a foursome with some pornstars right now. Am i going to be able to do it? Nope.
I want to eliminate poverty. Does that mean its possible? Nope. Am i going to just hand people money? Nope. Do i want welfare? Nope. Do i want a war on drugs? Nope.
Youre never going to be able to eliminate it.
You should read the forever war. Excellent sci fi (almost as good as starship troopers) and social commentary on socialism. More and more people start going on the government take until the economy finally collapses. Which is exactly what would happen if you started handing people money.
