Ranks up there with the "War on poverty".The war on drugs may be America's most expensive failure. Body counts in the millions, biggest prison population on earth and the rationality for the American police state itself. After all that waste Americans can still buy all the drugs they want. Damned right it was a racist attack on minorities. The differing penalties that once existed for crack and powder is all the proof anyone needs.
Somewhere in the neighborhood of $20 TRILLION SPENT, poverty rate has remained basically the same.
THE "WAR ON POVERTY" did as much damage, maybe more, to the black community then "SLAVERY"
In Both cases, it focused on replacing the male as head of a household, replaced first by the SLAVE OWNER and then second, replaced by a SOCIALIST BUREAUCRAT.
