Replying to so i was thinking about the debt...

So I was thinking about the billions and billions of dollars, maybe even trillions(im not too sure on the number) of dollars in debt the U.S. is. And so i started thinking and i came up with this idea to help get rid of it.
1) Reduce the drinking age to 18. Its estimated that about 75% of 18-20 years olds drink. Now if you think of the millions of 18-20 years there are in the U.S. those are all potential and probably alcohol customers. If this happened, the alcohol sales in the country would probably double, which means A LOT more tax $ for the gov. Also, the huge spike in sales would call for new infastructures to be built to produce more alcohol for the raising demand. These new infastructures need people to run them. This means more jobs!

2) Legalize marijuana. Its a natural fucking plant for god sake! The president himself has smoked it before. If marijuana was legalized it would be the fastest billion $ cash crop ever. And once again, think of the millions of stoners in the country that would be potential and probable consumers. If marijuana was legalized and taxed it was bring in rediculous sums of money for the gov. and like the first part of my idea, it would call for completely new infastructures to produce and package the weed. Which once again creates more jobs.

So, my idea would reduce the unemployment rate, reduce the debt, and make the stoners and teenage alcoholics of the world a lot happier.
