On April 24, 1964, President Lyndon Baines Johnson declared war on poverty on Tommy Fletcher’s front porch in Inez, Kentucky, beginning a 44-year quagmire. Because this war is obviously unwinnable, I propose we begin withdrawing 60 days after the next President is sworn in.
On April 24, 2006, then-House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced her secret plan to end the gas war. In a press release, she proclaimed, “Democrats have a commonsense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices by cracking down on price gouging, rolling back the billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies, tax breaks and royalty relief given to big oil and gas companies, and increasing production of alternative fuels.” Because gas prices have gone up $1.18 per gallon since this announcement, I think it’s high time the Democrats implement this plan.
This is an awesome and funny and ironic post.
Nothing has hurt this country and the poor more than,the great society”. Well maybe Kennedy’s immigration reform. Or is it a combination of both that has been so destructive?
