The problem is this.

Tell the right wingers that we can pocket the 100 billion, which gets us no return, and instead put 20 billion into education and treatment, which returns something like 140 billion back into the system...and they'll still say no.

The pain of spending 20 billion on education and treatment, even with a 7:1 return, hurts more than throwing 1000 billion in hole...at least they can put people in jail and say "look what we're doing" with that...not to mention the billions made by contractors who are fighting the War on Drugs.

Fish on...
