Indeed I see no one seeking a solution....

I wonder why that statement does not surprise me.

By the above statement it sounds to me like you do not want a fix for poverty. You do not want the government to fix poverty or a government that can fix poverty. You want the government to mitigate the effects of poverty. Would this not lead to and ever increasing need for mitigation?

How about pollution? Do you want the government to eliminate pollution or just fix the results of pollution? How about Aids?

Hmmm...I'm inclined to think the answer 'e'. But it is possible, though not probable that I left one possibility out and should have included 'f. all of the above.'
