Obama Laughs at Legalization

Rare that I would ever agree with a Huffington Post article, but here it is. My libertarian pragmatism forces me to laugh right back at the President in this case--legalization and smart regulation--along with a tax like that on cigarettes would increase revenue streams to cash-strapped state governments. How could it NOT create jobs? legalization would lead to new jobs and business opportunities for growers, dispensaries, and even (and you'd think Barack would like this) government workers who would be needed in the regulation effort. This doesn't even take into account how much money this would save us at the border of Mexico--instead we're going to spend more money and keep the status quo? Keep laughing off obvious solutions and revenue sources that might help pay for your massive budget Barack.
