58. First, legalize all drugs.
How many billions of dollars will that free up in law enforcement? Prisons will empty out and violent crime due to illegal drugs will be eradicated.
Then take all that money to use for treatment and get users back on their feet. It will then open all that money up for education so others won't become addicts.
Then of course the stock market will probably collapse (as the markets are the washing machine for drug money), prisons that are being privatized and a place for cheap labor for corporate America are going to suffer too.......
