Jesus said that " the poor will always be with you " That is because the dumb, lazy, criminal minded, nuts, and their enablers will always be among us. However, when you reward irresponsibility you get more of it, and that is precisely what liberal policies do at the expense of the tax payer. If you want less of something - punish it.
Okay. So take Medicaid and food stamps away from the poor.
How soon before, en masse, they start getting less poor?
Okay. Continue subsidizing them
How soon before, en masse, they start getting more rich?

That is irrelevant to this thread.
The claim, as stated in the thread title, is that liberal policies KEEP people in poverty. Therefore the claim is that ending liberal policies would stop keeping people in poverty.
Medicaid and food stamps are liberal policies. Therefore the claim is that Medicaid and food stamps keep people in poverty.
Therefore the claim is that ending Medicaid and food stamps would stop keeping people in poverty.
If you want to defend the OP's claim, since obviously the OP won't, go ahead.
Tell us how and when poor people starting coming out of poverty once Medicaid and food stamps are ended.
Or...concede that the OP's claim is nonsense.
