FIX ECONOMY, LEGALIZE DRUGS

There's a fix for our money problems that most are ignoring: Go ahead
and accept defeat on the drug war and legalize recreational drugs. You
may lose a number of people who refuse to take control of their lives,
but you will save so much more. License the new drug stores and
collect all the fees and taxes. Save more money by significantly
lowering the prison population. The drug problem is similar to the
problems we have with gambling and alcohol. Make it legal, and let
everyone either make the most out of their lives, or ruin their lives,
as they see fit.
