Poverty in the US has significantly decreased over the last 90 years due to the New Deal and Great Society safety net, particularly among the elderly due to Medicare. But it really applies to all demographic groups to varying degrees.

It can never be fully eradicated, but I think the lack of historical memory of what things were like almost a century ago gives people the wrong idea about steps to reducing poverty.
