The ECONOMY needs money.

I can solve the economy problem and am wondering why no one else sees it as simple as I do.

This country needs a new market one that the US is very good at.

Well, what products do Americans export the most? I am not an expert but I see Coke Budweiser and Tobacco everywhere around the world.

We sell chemical mood enhancers around the world at superior product quality and for cheaper cost than anyone else in the world. We need to tap into the new market that marajuana could offer our farmers and this country.

We need a president that will step outside the box take a stand and recognize this opportunity to bring the US back to a top exporter, create jobs, help farmers and reinvigorate the economy.

There is a demand for this product. A product that is safer than alcohol and all natural with little need for addities or preservatives. You can grow it again and again fairly quickly like tobacco.

We sell caffiene, nicotine and alcohol all which have pluses and minuses, marajuana has them too and we have the best farmland in the world. We could be the top suppliers in the world on a global scale.

Imagine the possibilities if the tobacco industry got involved and started this market.

This country would be out of recession and a huge boost to the economy would occur and desperately needed jobs would be instantly created.

Guaranteed.

What are the reasons that these politicians deny this market that we could tap into?

We would have such a boost to the econmy we could fund universal healthcare like they have in every other civilized country.

This country was founded by people with a pioneering spirit. We need a pioneering president to break new ground open new markets and rejuvenate this country and get us to love it and believe in it once again.

Strengthing the home and heartland especially USA farmers would make this country strong.

“Too bad Rite Aid isn’t a government outfit. We’d just raise prices and give everybody a raise.” (ROFL!)

When that happens to government, far too many people passionately advocate that we increase both.” That is all you had to say in the first place; why didn’t you? Government can’t hire more people than they can pay for, can they? And they can’t raise taxes unless the legislature approves same, so, government is living wihtin its means and is expanding its business model.

Unfortunately we have expenses too high and revenue too low and no one bothers to correct one or the other.

You need to be a CGB (Certified Government Believer).

I am a CGB so I will help explain to you what Mark is saying.

Mark says, “So, too bad it wasn’t a government outfit….”

and he says “Prices may stay the same;”
Government can fix prices/cost by rationing the product. During the 1970’s, the Federal government fixed the price of oil which resulted in long lines at gas pumps. It was a smashing success.

and he says, “many more people will be employed in building and operating these stores;”
The silly constraint of turning a profit is done away with. In the CGB world, a dip in demand is not a problem. For example, there are fewer students attending the university system. To layoff university employees would be a violation of one of key principles of the CGBP (Certified Government Believer Principles).

and he says, “more property tax in those communities where 800-1,000 new stores are going;”
A government run pharmacy would not pay any taxes. But all the employees that it hires and does not need (see above paragraph) will be paying taxes. Duh…you CPA…now do understand the principles of the CGB?

and he says, “and oh, the stockholders will make money to boot.”
This statement is the most accurate for us CGB’s. The stockholders are politicians, bureaucrats and those big bad pharmaceutical companies. Somebody has to make the drugs. The big bad pharmaceutical companies will love to lose the market risk and gain monopoly status to make all the drugs. Pharmaceutical companies would never have to worry about losing money ever again.

The politicians will make money by making deals with these companies.

The thousands of bureaucrats to administer the program will enjoy the lush benefits that all government jobs provide. The top bureaucrats will also get some of that special deal money.

To become a CGB, you need pass the CGBP boards test and be a member of a government employee union for 2 years.

Rite Aid’s departure from Las Vegas means they no longer believe they can get their best possible return for deploying their capital here. The specific symptom is that they are not achieving their profitability goals: expenses are too high or revenue is too low.

When that happens to government, far too many people passionately advocate that we increase both.
