your U.S. tax dollars at work


http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/4897.html


all the necessary and needful things they say they never have money for in the budget but there never seems to be a shortage of money for the truly stupid shit or something that is just plain wrong

And i thought our government were thick as fuck. Just another case of stupidity.

Biker....did you hear about the big name economist (can't recall that name at the moment) that very recently came out in support of ENDING the war on weed simply for finanical reasons! brilliant, we are spending billions to fight multiple bullshit wars.....i say we stop them all and drop ALL that money in fixing THIS country.

America is in decline. Sad but true. All empires fall. Some last 1000 years some a few score years. America ran for 2.5 centuries and now we are watching it rot from the inside. This is an inevitable response to bloated beaurocracy and falling educational standards. We are the new Rome. Enjoy the descent.

Completely agree with you on that........I believe we certainly could fix the country and impove the quality of life for everyone and always could have just with what THEY throw away every year


I generally try to keep a list of those with the courage to step up but
I think I missed that economist but all the more all the better......

Looks like I am not the only one with a knowledge of history......if this country does not get it's shit together I agree what else can anyone expect from a place so incrediably mismanaged and it's people will not stick together and consistantly demand the necessary changes.

I just don't know how as long as the people will not stick together we can ever get leaders in there in this corrupt system that care more about the people than their own personal greed or power and until we do I have said for half my life we are folowing in the footsteps of every empire that went under from within and the Feds just keep proving that more and more every year.

Tragically the types that would try to turn this around are never allowed anywhere near the postions they need to be in and all we ever get is just diffirent versions of the same old shit.

The economist that you mention is none other than Milton Friedman, perhaps the most inflential economist of the last several decades. The only people that have examined the issues carefully and scientifically and continue to support the war on drugs are those who profit from this insane war.

Exactly Right and I still wait for the day when the truth and facts finally are absorbed by all of the mainstream and the Feds and Industrialist finally get exposed for the crimes they have committed against so many by depriving them of proper medication and forcing millions to live and die in pain and their lives unnecessarily crippled and ruined just so they could turn a profit...............

bad enough to find yourself in such a way and nothing can be done but to live like that each day knowing there is real help to end your suffering and the only reason you find yourself living in some kind of hell is because the damn Gov says you have to or they will put you in prison .......that's just criminal.
