The Wars On Poverty And Corruption

Treasury Secretary John Snow, in a speech to the Development Committee of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund:

The U.S. Treasury chief said global lenders must find ways to “unleash the power of the private sector” to help the poor while also fighting corruption in countries where they lend and increasing access to financial services for their citizens.

Yes, that makes a lot of sense. Especially since it’s worked so well at home. Somehow, I managed to miss the “Mission Accomplished” statements for the War on Poverty and the War on Corruption.
