Poors are a drop in the bucket. Even if the current trends continue, these subsidies are marginal factors in a six trillion dollar government economy. However, we still find the need to dedicate massive blocks of resources to rooting out undeserving beneficiaries and prosecuting them with much bluster; spending more jailing one of them than it takes to feed three.

The entitlement problem clearly goes beyond those beneath the poverty line. I understand why you're saying that in this context, but we both know it's a substantial issue.

As for spending a lot of resources to find undeserving beneficiaries and prosecuting them, this is laughable and simply does not happen, assuming you're talking about prosecution for defrauding entitlement programs.
