Well, it isn't though, if the answer boils down to "Twelve hundred billion dollars isn't enough to fund the high quality program I think all citizens deserve? No problem, just get more money". And that's by far the most that they've budgeted for it; you have to assume that half the country thinks that's too much.
Doesn't seem much more realistic than the notion that poor people can just work harder or get better jobs and stop being poor, ultimately.
