NO DEFICIT, LEGALIZE POT

Increases in government spending are immediately needed and deficits
are likely.

But this does not mean the money has to come from lenders or higher
taxes.

It is time to repeal prohibition and relegalize marijuana. The
resulting cash flow will allow property and income and sales taxes to
stay where they are.

The people most opposed to relegalization are the drug dealers,
because their business will be kaput.
