I read an interesting "letter to the editor" from my home town a few weeks ago, his wife was in the Dr's office for cancer and the Dr replied "not one illness has been cured since these large drug companies started making billions, they just find things to treat the illness not cure it"
That nails it on the head, polio, small pox and how many other killers have been CURED before there was money to be made by keeping people sick.
The SMARTEST thing the Federal government could ever do is make pot legal to all, package it like cigs and enforce the same rules on it as alcohol, and grow/sell it themselves keeping the profits for Federal/State use.
Imagine the surplus; we would be a debt free nation in less then 10 years with better schools and better hospitals with heath care for all. But then the drug companies’ wouldn’t make 100 billion a year... just a laughable 10 billion or so.
