No, no, no. The Government should nationalize the currently-illegal drug trade. Not only can they institute quality control for the drugs (so you don't have people snorting rat poison) but look at how much money the Government could make. That should raise the surplus for the next several decades! [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]
As a further benefit, it would create thousands of new jobs: lab technicians, marketing, sales/distribution, warehousing, shipping, etc.
Plus, we could revamp both the military and foreign policy. Toe our line, or we dump thousands of tons of cheap drugs into your country, addict a majority of your population, then withhold the drugs until you fall in line. [img]graemlins/firedevil.gif[/img]
btw...this is an old idea of mine, dating from 1989. It was an idea I pursued in a course entitled "Shaping the Future". [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
