"We spend a lot of money, time, and police work on drugs and it doesn't seem to make a difference."

We should spend more of that money on drug addiction help. The reason all of the cartels
want to ship their product here is that it's the biggest, most lucrative market. America has the most illegal drug users. Americans are a huge part of the problem. This reminds me of
the illegal immigrant issue. If the heavy hand of the law came down on the American employers hiring the illegals, the flow of illegals would possibly cut back bigly, at a
much, much lower cost of the circus being run by the current regime.

So it kind of feels like the war on drugs, and the war on illegals, are just dog and pony
shows that do not really want to solve the problem they are tasked with. But they sure like talking about it. It sure fires up the voting base.
