3 years ago would've been a different story.

Not really... we were running huge deficits and the "recession bubble" was already filled. In the late 90's, for the first time in US history, under Clinton, we were actually in the black each year. Then certain tax cuts came, and a spike in spending, and the rest is history.

We also weren't 3 trillion in debt from a certain administration who decided to do a couple billion dollar stimulus packages one after the other. It was much more manageable then.

I'll be in the chamber of understanding if you need me.

And invest money into rehabilitation here at home, get people rehabilitated, give them incentive. America's population fuels their economy, it's the cheapest way to combat the war.

Because spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a drug war is so great when we are 14 trillion dollars in debt. Uh-huh.

Then legalize weed and tax the hell out of it like they do with alcohol and cigarettes. but your're right we wouldn't make any money off of it because the cartels sell it, i mean people would much rather deal with some scary mexican, rather then being able to just go pick some up at a head shop legally......

whatever

The cartels don't do taxes on their products. They still wouldn't if it was legalized.

Yes, I'd much rather get it tax free if I could. I'd buy anything tax-free if I could really. Especially if it was as easy.

We already addressed this, there are ways to get around tax laws, especially when it's illegally exported.

Also important to address, is due to that, even if it is legal, it is still necessary to destroy their fields.
