War on Dumb

So where is all the money going?

In 2010 federal and state governments combined spent a total of 40 billion dollars on the War on Drugs, a mostly pointless endeavor and a "war" that they are clearly losing. We have way too many people employed in law enforcement in this country, and they are well-paid and retire young. The hype is that they are all heroes but the reality is that most of them are no such thing.

It's quite simple, we need to prioritize and look to the future. If we do not prioritize with the future in mind, it is my belief that the United States will FAIL. The United States is falling behind every other industrialized nation in terms of education, technology, economics. We need to trade the war on drugs for the war on dumb, OR ELSE.

We must also launch a war on Wall Street.
