Maybe. Hard to say what "a lot" means. But anyway, assuming there is some connection between things like child poverty, later life income, incarceration, taxes, welfare usage, entrepreneurship, etc., etc., it's entirely reasonable to hope this could be a net benefit even in purely monetary terms, which of course is not the only way to measure its success.
