TRY THIS BOLD PROPOSAL TO SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY

The answer to sustaining Social Security and possibly paying down the 
national debt is very simple. Legalize marijuana and don't tax it but 
let the government produce and sell it as a government-run business.

It's going to be legalized in all the states eventually anyway, so 
why not use it for some good. Farmland now sitting idle could be put 
to use. Thousands of jobs would be created, and profits could be used 
to help feed the hungry in our country and save Social Social Security.
