Let’s Cut It to the Bone II

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 | Economics, Healthcare

     Now aside from doing away with our Armed Forces being used for a World Poliice force and doing away with the minimum wage I have a few more suggestions. Maybe if we implement some of these we could pay for healthcare.

     This next idea might, at first,seem radical but it might be closer to being realistic. We should grow and distribute drugs. Since the war on drugs seems to be going the way of the Viet Nam War maybe we should declare a truce.

     Now we all know that drugs in this country are controlled by organized crime and if we control the sale of drugs and tax it we could be making that money. The money we would save from fighting a futile war would again go in the public coffers. We could put more police on the streets although we might not need them since a lot of crime is drug related.

     We would be creating more jobs for Americans and fighting the War on Terror at the same time. The Afghans have increased poppy production over twenty times  since 2001, who do you think is buying?

     One of the things that got us into problems was oil. The countries that have oil have been holding us hostage. Well I recently heard that in the future water may be the new oil. Along with this, food will become scarce and therefore more valuable then oil. If we started to hold the world oil producing countries hostage for food then maybe the price of oil would come down. If not, let them eat sand.
