It was WWII that finally ended the Great Depression, not The New Deal, the Second New Deal or beer.
Yes but beer made it easier to swallow!
Because he's a stoner?
“Maaaaaaan. Dude on TV was sayin’ th’economy gonna get worse. Man, that’s a bummer. I mean — wha? Did you say sumthin’? Oh! Check it out, dude! This tune is unreal!! Anyway. I don’t see why peoples is all panicky. And stuff.”
If anything, look for the War on Pot to become even more intrusive than it already is.
He has to get some of it right.
...I don’t see it happening.
...so that we can all stomach his economic plans?
Decriminalize marijuana is never going to happen. There is too many people that make their living fighting the drug war.
Out of curiosity, were it to be decriminalized, which companies would be “ready to roll” immediately and capture the market?
0bama can’t decriminalize anything. Congress can, and The 0ne can sign it, but acting on his own is something he can’t do.
Decriminalizing all drugs is a Soros goal
and zerO is a Soros puppet
Follow the money to see who will get rich(er) during zerO’s regime.
Dead drug users and lives lost to addiction are “acceptable collateral damage” to these people. It is horrible.
Pot is like buying a soda in Hawaii. While driving around Hana years ago, I saw guys were selling pot publicly on the streets, really pathetic.
Ummmmm. The Dali Obama can’t legalize dope. We aren’t a monarchy yet. I know that’s what the libs want, but not yet.
However I would love to see the stupid drug war ended. It’s already lost completely. Only a handful of profiteers and Pharisees support it any more.
That’s what I want to deal with. Some idiot who is lethargic and doesn’t care or know what he is talking about. What a conversation that would be.
No thanks.
The bureaucracy of the war on drugs is a monster that Obama might not want to mess with. The number of people who depend on it for their livelihood might be more than the number of people who could be employed by legalization. Every local law enforcement branch has some kind of paramilitary, SWAT like team, with dogs, machine guns, armored vehicles and so on. How many cops are kept employed just to break into houses and terrorized dope dealers, not that they always get the right house? There are county, city and State policemen to think of in practically every town in the US, and an economy of Billions. Then there are the various federal, law enforcement agencies to worry about, tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of officers that are there for the drug war could be displaced, not to mention all of the paramilitary teams and equipment they have. Then we have the prisons that are filled with drug dealers and users. How many corrections officers are employed by them? We are talking billions of state and federal dollars here, and the good part is that it will never go away. There will always be plenty of drugs to keep users happy while providing millions of drug war related jobs. Once marijuana is decriminalized, the rest will follow, and a lot of people with no job skills outside of law enforcement will be unemployed during a prolonged, economic downturn.
