Eradicating poverty is orders of magnitude harder than landing a colony on Mars.

Hypothetically, if the US were to put 20% of their budget into (truly) getting people on Mars, they'll do it.

If they put 20% of their budget into eradicating poverty?

Right now the US government puts between 10% to 30% of their budget into Medicare and Medicaid.

Is poverty eradicated?
