2. Here comes your legalized laughing grass
The corporations have their tenacles in place to suck even faster. The first of the year will see the Medicare reform open up the treasury to the pill companies like never before.

Then safety net that people think is there already has so many holes in it it that it is not much of a net. The politicians cannot defend their prohibition of the greatest medicinal plant in history and the Internet defeats their plan of silence. As the lottery by monopoly has done all the trickery left to disquise the tax increases the 99% have taken on, the politicians are going to yield and adopt the "tax the hell out of it" theory, as freedom is still not relevant to the fascists, but the money is.
