it's all about the --->$$$$$$$$$$$$MONEY$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
So, are you saying that they should legalize these drugs and then make them free or affordable? Wouldn't that just get more people hooked on them and increase unemployment and put more people on government programs? Somehow, I feel that I will end up spending more of my money to support the druggies, and that doesn't sit well with me. I have a novel approach to this problem. They could enforce the drug laws by ordering addicts into treatment programs like at Gosnold, or they can spend some real hard time at a pound your rear end prison. Then they can start enforcing immigration laws, and get rid of the illegals who pay little or nothing into social security. Finally, they can force welfare recipients who are able to work to find a job. If a welfare recipient gets a job, even if it is part-time, the government could supplement their income. If someone who is able to work decides that they don't want to, you take away their benefits. If they don't like it, they can move to Canada.
