Buffalo, NY — February 2008

A little more than 100 years ago, Buffalo was the fastest growing city in the nation.

Jon Powers was a captain in the Army and spent 15 months in Iraq.

He came back to an America more broke than when he left it.

He wondered how it was possible to liberate Iraq, but not his own city.

He just announced that he will run for congress.

When an opponent was asked if he was worried about Powers, he replied,  “He’s never had a real job in his life.”
