Give the Mexicans a cash crop-- marijuana-- and you solve several problems at once-- drug violence, illegal crossers, increased trade, decreased incarceration of users in the US. Tobacco, alcohol, and pharmaceuticals are addicting, cause health problems, and kill people-- and are legal.

Kelly says the federal government has put the country into debt. Hello, what about the Wall Street crash? That was caused by greedy businessman. Obama and Congresional Dems are trying to fix the financial mess caused by the irresponsible Republican-controlled government under George Bush.
-
What sacrifices would the candidates be willing to ask Americans to make? Kelly: "The American people sacrificed enough. It's the federal government that needs to make sacrifices." Later he adds, "It's the federal government that created the $16 trillion debt," not the people. "It's the government that apologizes for our nation overseas."

Barber says he agrees that the American people have sacrificed enough. Middle-class wages have stagnated, military has sacrificed in Iraq and Afghanistan, veterans who are coming home without enough help for PSTD or traumatic brain injury, students and the teachers trying to teach them have sacrificed enough because of budgets cut to the bone, he says.
