We are in a recession!! Why is the US giving $197Mil to Mexico why not hold off use the money in the US? ?
Why not just legalize the drugs, regulate them at the state level, tax them higher than alcohol and smokes and make money off importing them and exporting them, the crime would decrease and would become a new world market, no more fighting drug and giving out $$.

We have an agreement to give $1 to mexico each year per mexican citizen they donate to us. They submitted this years bill for $197 Million. We have to pay or they will stop crossing the border and buying old chevy's.

this is just one of the many problems our government has. They give money to other countries all the time. Not only money but our jobs too. Yet they want the american people to keep buying and investing. How can we when all the immigrants have our jobs?

I have thought about his myself, it could create an unproductive society, hehehe. No but really, I think the government is holding out because of some international relations issues. Also, so many rules and regulations would have to be put on the drug. Will there be weed farms? Can you grow it in your backyard? Will there be civil disputes?

I have to expand your mind to pass on to you a full understanding on why the govt. continues it's prohibition on drugs. so let's break your train of thought with this. Why does the govt. need to get money from you if they can print more of it? answer: taxation is simply a way of controlling societal behavior, A society that works more, produces more, demands more and progresses faster than one which is fat and happy. Drugs tend to make us a bit less driven. Don't get me wrong there are consequences for the govt. printing too much money (devaluation against other currencies). The fed has to split a fine line between keeping you hungry enough to work hard and keeping you fed enough not to revolt. they use taxation to penalize and reward in a way that steers society and business to it's most productive growth model. Money is in essence "just paper" and is worthless without our faith in it and others faith in our govt. and their leadership of our societal growth. About Mexico?197 million is didly squat, really. I know that could make a difference in your hometown, but they have their reasons for not juicing your hometown with the money. They'll be throwing some money to the populous soon enough, and it won't be a paltry 197Mil, try to the tune of 500Bil. When that gets passed out, look out. Inflation city bubba, it's coming our way, a necessary evil. Watch and see if I'm off-base. Hope that helped.
