Parent-swapping for financial aid

My latest at Medium.

 I say politicians are morally to blame if they:

• support a “short, quick” war but chaos ensues.

• prohibit drugs but violence and other crime rises.

• impose price controls resulting in shortages. 

They should have known beforehand there would be disastrous results. I believe failure is, secretly, what they wanted all along; they’ll blame everyone but themselves for the new problems they created, and they’ll tell the voters, “Re-elect me, and we’ll fix this!” 

There is one scam, however, that I doubt even the politicians intended.
