I remember years ago reading some poster saying nothing will change until the cops paychecks start bouncing. Looks like we might be seeing that soon.

Very familiar with the subject

It's a calculated move to get the Obama Infrastructure Stimulus Plan to pay for it. The State will get their way.

Marijuana Dealers Offer Schwarzenegger One Billion Dollars

August 6 -- A coalition of California marijuana growers and dealers has offered Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger one billion dollars to solve the current state budget crisis. The group, calling itself Let Us Pay Taxes makes the offer through its web site LetUsPayTaxes.com. The offer comes at a time when the California legislature is deadlocked on a new budget and California has stopped issuing checks for vitally needed social services. Legislators are currently arguing over which programs will be cut in order to balance the budget.

“It is ridiculous that California can’t pay its bills,” said spokesman Clifford Schaffer. “It is a tragedy that they will cut badly needed services and programs such as medical care for the elderly and prison drug treatment when the money to fund all these programs and more is there and available. Everyone who is currently waiting for a check from the state should be enraged at this foolishness.”

Regulation and taxation of marijuana could produce six billion dollars in additional tax revenue, according to economic studies linked from their web site LetUsPayTaxes.com. In addition, it could save up to ten billion dollars in enforcement costs. “That is a conservative estimate,” said Schaffer. “By other estimates, the revenues could be five times that. The economists are with us all the way on this one. Marijuana prohibition is an economic disaster.”

Marijuana

Marijuana is a nasty weed,
The Devil sowed the seed.
The Lord made it grow,
That is why we like it so.

Voluntary Association + Mutual Cooperation + 110% Personal Responsibility = 100% Individual Liberty

The only thing they can come up with

Is tripling the vehicle registration fees on all vehicles. Pay 100 this year. Now pay 300 next year. Tax the shit out of the populace for it is their fault the government can't seem to do its job. Wait a minute! That IS the governments job. To destroy liberty and tax till they cry blood. Then blame it on the people for not paying even higher taxes.

Wow! That's insane!

I recall listening to Jim Sinclair at a Money Show, or

perhaps it was a Traders Expo, in Las Vegas a few years ago. He made a very strong case for gold, even then.....when the dollar index was a lot higher than it is today.
