Yes, this would surely cut the "poverty rate" in half for about, let's see, one month! Then we would go right back to the same rate because we have done NOTHING to change the structural issues of poorly designed welfare systems, poorly designed poverty assistance systems (which tend to capture and keep people in poverty for generations). Since LBJ's "war on poverty" the poverty rate per-capita has been basically flat (all things considered) and we've spent 11 trillion dollars on them. This article is short sighted to say the least!
