As might be expected, poverty has recently taken a large upswing; but as a rule, all of the 'wars on' end up being about controlling the particular agenda. These are usually signals that those who apply for Gov money will shortly be tacking 'to fight the war on poverty' onto the end of their requests.

But these ignore the root cause of poverty. A debt instrument for a dollar, where every dollar in circulation is debt-created, *necessitates* poverty, as others scramble to repay debt. The only sane way is to escape the current private system; we are at its mercy. See the link.
