>So if you include SS, Medicare, and food stamps into the "stabilizer" category, you would have to admit that none of them have reduced poverty, and that all they do is serve as "backstops."

They did when they were introduced. But then they basically stay the same. That's what they're supposed to do, unless the dollar amount per person is increased. Then they'll reduce poverty more. I'd be fine with that. I know you wouldn't.
