It is a low bar. Something we should expect from our elected officials.

I do wonder, however, why you are such an admirerer of Ron Paul, when the views and beliefs he has expressed are far crazier than the people you are picking on. It is an oddly dissonant thing.

Marlboro invests 1.8 billion in a Canadian Marijuana company with the option to buy more shares that could bring the investment up to 4 Billion which is as much as the company that makes Corona invested previously. Spending on legal marijuana in North America is expected to grow from 9.2 billion in 2017 to 47.3 Billion in 2027. If you have money to invest. The legal marijuana business is your best bet. Like alcohol it will be virtually recession proof.

After all there are those that worship at the capitalistic alter -- right ?
This would be the other side..

Thinking back to those days of yore when I was a regular user of marijuana, it's difficult to believe that I am not 300 pounds from all of the Ruffles and chip dip that I consumed. I think my ratio was three containers of dip to one bag of chips. I should have just eaten the dip with a spoon.

If there's one thing that is absolutely clear after the past 2 years on health care,

it is that Rs have no alternative to the ACA, and never will.

Their plan is for people to get sick, go bankrupt, and die.
 
Oh yes... Paul Krugman

I think it was the Rain who correctly warned how disastrously ACA would fail.

Yet here we are, as also predicted, the solution to fix the disaster is universal
