i agree with ya there. it also produces lumber that is flame resistant and bugs dont eat/live in it.

i dont know why hemp is illegal to grow, by definition, hemp is cannabis with extremely low thc levels. you would have to smoke a pound to get a buzz...its ridiculous.

Because President Reagan was the last fiscally conservative president we had, and it's what we need today. He reversed what Carter had destroyed (Obama is only Carter 2.0), and brought a booming economy to this country. He believed in the founding fathers intention of government being small and he reversed the decades-old flow of power to Washington. By dismantling some federal programs, and reducing others, he forced the states and the cities to assume more responsibility for running their own shows. If he failed to break the Democratic hold on Congress, he did force the Democratic Party to move to the right.
Obama and his congress seem to think that government is the answer to everything and growing it will help everyone. WRONG!
Ronald Reagan initiated tax cuts (not stimulus spending) to stimulate more growth and more jobs, spending cuts (Obama only came around on this issue because he's trying to save his job) to put an end to continuing deficits and high inflation, regulatory relief to lift the heavy burden of government rules and paper work, and finally, a steady, consistent, monetary policy.Ronald Reagan, "got it" about taxes and spending.
Our current administration and congress just doesn't get it, you can't print money at will, and spend your way out of debt. It doesn't work for us, we can't just spend at will, but it seems to be the thing in Washington. They ask us (the people) to tighten our belt, while they go on spending like wild. Something is wrong with this picture.

I ask, do you want to be dependent on the government? Because anything they give you, they can take away. Are you ok with our rights being taken away through regulation? I am not! Big government is NOT the answer. I copied this from heritage.org:

Abstract: Despite the famed 1996 Welfare Reform Act and the more recent welfare adjustments in 2006, 60.8 million Americans remain dependent on the government for their daily housing, food, and health care. The number of taxpayers is shrinking--and the country may be rapidly approaching the point where more than one-third of Americans do not pay taxes for benefits they receive. In February 2009, the Democrat-controlled Congress and the new Obama Administration may have driven the final stake into the heart of any semblance of fiscal responsibility when they enacted the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act--essentially overturning the fiscal foundation of welfare reform.

Starting in 2016, Social Security will not collect enough in taxes to pay all of the promised benefits-- which is a problem for all workers, but especially for the roughly half of the American workforce that has no other retirement program.

Add in spiraling academic grants, flat-out farm socialism, and the swelling ranks of Americans who believe themselves entitled to public-sector benefits for which they pay few or no taxes--and Americans must ask themselves whether they are near a tipping point in the nature of their government.
​

I don't want to turn this into a political debate, so I'll shut up now lol, but it's your thread, and you asked, so I thought I would answer. :-P

In closing, let me take some words from an address to the Nation President Reagan gave from the Oval Office in April of 1982. The President said, and I quote, "...let me take you back a little to 1977. When the (Carter) administration took office, inflation was 4.8 percent. It rose steadily and in 1979 and '80, we had two years of back-to-back double-digit inflation. Unemployment started to increase and by 1980 we were in a recession with nearly eight million unemployed, inflation at 12.4 percent and interest rates at 21 1/2 percent. ...We had to reduce the built-in rate of increase. At the same time, we had to reduce the share of the people's earnings that government was taking in taxes. ...High taxes, destroying incentive, had contributed to reduced productivity and a reduction in savings which left us without the capital we need for industrial expansion."

Reagan reaffirmed with eloquence the continuing validity and vitality of the American Dream. In this more than in any policies or decisions lie his legacy and enduring claim to greatness.
-George H. Nash​

Sometimes I don't spit it out quite right :) In other words, a lot of people have an entitlement mentality which matches up with a socialist type agenda, so win win for both. Lose lose for the rest of the people. :(

Yeah, I agree with you on the war on drugs thing, and I kinda figured that's maybe where you were going with the question. Was Reagan perfect? Not by any means, none of us are. The war on drugs was originally initiated by Nixon. He had the opportunity, even at the recommendation of his staff, to not move in that direction, but he chose to anyway.
The war on drugs is a stupid, useless, and wasteful use of tax money, we all know this, but in this country's current economic climate, I am looking for a leader in fiscal conservatism, the war on drugs is the least of our (the people's) worries IMO. That is why I look up to Reagan.

If you didn't watch the video, you should, it's not just about Reagan, in fact it's more about our current administration... and our freedom.
