For how many decades have we had a War on Poverty? A War on Drugs? A War on Pollution? A War on Terrorism? A War on...well you name the latest failure.
Why does this happen with unerring predictability? The political class declares war on something as if it is to mimic the war on the Germans, Italians and Japanese from WW2 but no one buys that bullshit any more.
When our Political Class "declares war" all that means is that it will now become a perpetual problem. Some will even rise up in the name of free speech to declare that they oppose the proposed solutions, and many are correct to do so. BECAUSE THE "WAR" IS A SOURCE OF GRAFT AND POLITICAL PATRONAGE AND NOTHING MORE.
That is why they "declare war" to make sure we understand it wont be fixed and will be an endless morass of funding, political waving of the bloody shirt for votes, BUT ONE THING WE ALL KNOW FOR CERTAIN; IT WILL NOT EVER BE FIXED.
Lets take the "War on Cancer": as an example. There have been half a dozen effective treatments for cancer in the pipeline for years now and the FDA drags its feet while tens of thousands die waiting for their cure.
Cancer cell therapies could be approved next year: Juno, Kite Pharma
Scientists find key to 'turbo-charging' immune system to kill all cancers
‘This is it’: the cancer treatment that has doctors talking about a cure
But our government, run by Big Pharma, doesnt want no fucking cure, as that would cost them billions in profits.

And these corporations OWN our Politicians, so the FDA is putting all of it on the slow track for approval, with each year expectations of eminent release of a cure frustrated and thousands die waiting for a cure THAT ALREADY EXISTS.
25,450 Americans will die this year waiting for cancer drugs that could treat them
Our Political Class has engineered our government to PERPETUALLY FAIL at solving ANYTHING as their corporate masters rush in to bleed the issue dry of any and all funding the government spends to supposedly "fix" the issue.
Well, it is "fixed" all right, "fixed" to give the corporations endless funding, our politicians endless streams of votes and donations, and the rest of us get endlessly fucked as we watch our children die of curable diseases, our elderly and veterans neglected in a broken social support system that stopped working right 40 years ago, and our nation is submerged in growing debt of of all kinds (fiscal, national, trade and private debt).
It is way past time to change the fucking batter; sit "Mighty Casey" down and lets try some folks from outside our Political Class who have had to make things WORK or they go out of business.
It is way past time we put a successful businessman like Donald J Trump in the White House so we can break this system of perpetual failure and start making things work in America again.
