Remember when all the states discounted their tobacco settlement money in order to gain a one time lump sum, applying that to their budgets to “balance” them without cutting spending!

I sold all of my RJ Reyonlds and Philip Morris stock at a ridiculously high price. The consumer ended up biting the bullet for government greed on that one, to the tune of $178B.

Yup. Was supposed to go towards tobacco related illnesses and costs. Of course, the idiots spent it on other things.
What a scam that was.
