stuart --

Don't waste your time with ithoughtitwasfunny -- she's a fascist Foxsnooze troll who gets off on posting the sicko jibberish spewed out from Karl Rove's Propaganda Machine over there.

Besides being extremely anal-retentive, she also suffers from the delusion that she's actually human.

Her postings do more damage to the weepublicans than anything else, so I hope she continues . . . I love a good laugh.

ithoughtitwasfunny is a protitute/lobbyist/pill-pusher for Big Pharma . . . go figure.

If Big Pharma was given the monopoly on marketing and distribution of marijuana, packs of marijuana cigarettes would be in every 7-11 coast-to-coast, tomorrow.

That's what's driving policy -- Big Biz Mafia interests . . . and nothing else.

They better do something to placate the masses that are sitting home both unemployed and fuming.

Facts?? He does'nt need no stinkin' facts. He's a neo-dweeb.

If pot makes one do stupid things then you're smoking way too much of it.

Estimates are that nationally we would save approximately $7.5 billion on reduced law enforcement costs if pot were legal. I personally think that number is low. The savings would probably be better than that.

This thread is about weed stimulus not money stimulus.

Just keep your krap out of my neighborhood and stay safe because as far as I'm concerned bringing it to mine is a shooting offense..
===============================================

Why do you always act so foolish? What the hell is wrong with you anyway? I mean really...you have some serious issues girl. Don't you think that pot is already everywhere? Including YOUR neighborhood? So this is just another example of you running your ignorant mouth, spewing lies and such. Go shoot somebody already you dumb neo-con!

What were these brilliant mind expanding Liberals smoking when they decided to tax & spend the People of Caliphony into oblivion?? Now they have to come up with another scheme to replace The American Dream. So Sad!

10 Reasons Employment Is Worse Than You Think! From The Business Insider, July 14, 2009:

Mort Zuckerman (of all people) has an op-ed in today's WSJ explaining why the jobs situation, which is quite clearly horrific, is even worse than you think.

Here are his points, condensed

* 185,000 workers in the June number were the product of statistical sampling, but could not be verified by the government.
* Companies are asking employees to take unpaid leave.
* 1.4 million unemployed workers weren't counted because they're not searching for work.
* Part-time employment has doubled to 9 million.
* The work week is 48 minutes shorter than when the recession began.
* The number of long-term unemployed (4.4 million) is at an all-time high.
* There were no wage gains in June.
* The goods-producing sector lost over 223,000 jobs just in June.
* When business picks up, businesses will just add hours to existing workers, rather than create new jobs.
* Old business lines are being eliminated entirely, not shrunk down, decreasing the odds that the unemployed will be able to find work.

Says Zuck: It's time for a serious second stimulus -- not a hodge podge of pork and transfer payments, but a truly big and bold infrastructure program (like what we were promised the first time, but which didn't happen) to put people to work.

About as many people show up stoned to work as they do drunk,
factor in the hungover effect and its probably higher.
