That is a completely unrealistic model that would be inadmissible when talking about most other things. I am not even sure it worth responding on a technical level if you can't see that yourself. Just compare this to any sort of statistical model whether it is in manufacturing, engineering or 'plain' mathematics. What is curious is that people who tend to view the US government as incompetent, which I think many people can agree with whether their opinion on the governments role, suddenly when talking about poverty seems to think that it is a role model for efficiency. Not even the Nordic model takes this stance.
