Reply #98: Washington State doesn't spend any money at all on going after drugs users or dealers? [View All]

Sure about that? Because they have an awful lot of laws on the book in that state, and an awful lot of people in jail because of them. Somehow, I don't think these people strolled on over to the jails on their own and asked for vacancies, do you? So who do you think put them there, and how many dollars were spent in the process, and how many more on keeping them there? That money isn't all coming from the federal government.

As for the War on Terror, less money at the Federal level means less money at the State level. You don't think Seattle and other areas aren't paying out of their own wallets for added security where needed? And where do you think the Fed is getting the money to fight it from in the first place? You are being taxed, correct?

The Feds do those things and BTW, they stopped providing food stamps for non-citizens in 1997.

I know. The hungry have been getting fucked for decades, partly because of arguments by people who say they care but throw up roadblocks at every chance they get...as long as they have food, of course. This isn't news.
