Congress should join the war on poverty.
2 comments

Every time congress starts a war these days it ends up backfiring.

War in Iraq to stamp out terrorism? More terrorists.

War on drugs? More drugs.

Given that Congress is so good at failing to win a war it's about time we try something new. Congress should start a war on the wealthy.

I bet they succeed only in creating more wealthy people in the process.

Congress (and the US) should quit calling things a "war on X".
