there are a lot of things that could fix our economy, not the least of which would be to legalize marijuana. we could fix our trade deficits to countries like japan. we could spend more of those tax dollars that are being spent warehousing non-violent (read: drug users) offenders in prisons. we could make a better product and advertise that fact not only in the US but aboard. we could stop our leaders from squandering our tax dollars in frivolous ways. the list is endless, but mostly what keeps us from fixing things like this is that people are getting rich from our tax dollars. that is what has to stop, more than anything else. so fix the system before you think about legalizing MJ. otherwise, it will just become another way for our leaders to get fat.

I can agree to that. One of our major problems is Global trade. Almost everything that is manufactured is done outside the US. Sadly i countries where they dont care about pollution and the working class.
Another major problem with our economy is unions. What a mess all that is
The system is corrupt most politicians are theives and liars
