Senator Long believes that even if it isn't possible to give the poor a basic income, that it should be possible to limit their poverty.
That giving a family $5,000 would go a long way in alleviating poverty.
Senator Long is therefore saying that in order to fight poverty, the government needs to support the poor so that they can rise out of poverty though various means such as educating their children.
