Not 'subsidizing' poverty is also unsustainable.  Why do you think crime rates have fallen precipitously?
Because the population is aging and young men in their 20s make up a smaller percentage of the population. Support for poor people can never meet the demand because if government increased spending to meet current demand, demand would only go up as more people realize that government subsidies are preferable than working. The politicians demanding that we 'eliminate poverty' are selling snake oil because it can't be done.
