Wherein I Solve the Drug Problem

I propose a Bail-Out: just as we used Socialism to spread the cost of the financial disaster over the entire country, I propose we Socialize the profits of the Drug Trade.

Legalize Drugs, place them under strict regulation, and use the profits for the good of the entire body social, not just for the pleasure of Drug Lords and those in power whom they suborn with bribes.

The bit about legalization has been discussed before, but by politicizing it with the iconic word "socialism" we can open the doors to entire new discussions, where both Parties of the Obscure and Dull may argue about Legalization for Private Profit versus Legalization for Socialism, thereby ensuring that a committee will be appointed to make recommendations... and that is farther along than we have gotten so far.
