I was talking to a young man about money matters several days ago. During our discussion I found out that he smoked on average about $10 worth of marijuana daily. I explained that equated to a little over $3000 per year. He had been smoking for about 10 years so I asked if he had $30,000 in the bank to which he naturally answered no. Naturally , he had never given these things much thought. He seemed to be enlightened when I further explained that if he only saved his 'grass' money over the next 10 years he could have $30,000 saved. This goes for all other vices as well.

The only thing these vices do is transfer wealth from the poor to further consolidate wealth in the hands of a few. The ignorant get high and low paying jobs, the wealthy get their money! After all the ones with these habits are usually the ones who can least afford them!

Everybody knows these claims to be true, but the government seems to be incapable of finding a way to prosecute and win these abuses of the public purse!

If the Democrats were this disoriented after Trumps win over Hillary, I can't wait to see what will happen to that party when he wins again in 2020!

Trump has done nothing that American presidents have not been doing for decades. They constantly strong arm other countries, influence their economies and elections and far worse. That process was political theater and nothing more. That being said, the outcome was expected and predicted. Let's see what happens next!

Absolutely nothing in this country works properly! Nothing!!
We throw money at problems expecting that to solve them. So sad!
