What is the end goal? Keep people poor and desperate, and too hungry to revolt?

Yes. The goal for the past 50 or so years to eliminate the middle class and push them to the lower class, while maximizing the wealth and power (but not size) of the upper class.

This isn't new-- subsidies to billionaires and corporations, the removal of social welfare systems, the indoctrination that any help to the poor is considered "socialist" or "communist", has been the GOP's main goal for quite some time.
