It's quite possible to end poverty and homelessness *immediately* without even causing the economy more than a hiccup. However, it is not possible to do so without asking that average Americans sacrifice just a little bit - maybe the equivalent of a couple dinners out per month. For most, that is not an acceptable bargain. Ending poverty and homelessness are simply not worth it. After decades of demonization from both sides of the aisle (remember bipartisan Welfare DEform), the poor and homeless don't matter enough to be worth giving up Red Lobster.
