Six Ways to Cut Our Debt and Advance Obama's Agenda

Agree totally on the drug question, the war on Drugs is the wrong way of looking at it, it is an epidemic of drugs, not a war. On the drilling question here is my compromise. Allow drilling for natural gas, but not oil (at this point). There has been lots of progress over the last few decades making rigs safer, and I assume that will continue. Gas can not spill, and allowing drilling will provide the incentive to get all the seismic work to get done, so we will have an idea of how much is out there. Ten or 15 years from now we can pump the oil. Green tech is a must. Also agree on the legalized internet gambling. However, it is hard to argue that taxes on capital are too high relative to taxes on labor.
