US Drug Problem

 

According to President Trump, Secretary Kennedy, the DEA, the FBI, the CIA, Director of HHS, Secretary of Homeland Security, multiple doctors, and law enforcement officials not to mention mothers, fathers, and countless others, AMERICA HAS A DRUG PROBLEM...

We blame:

• China
• Mexico
• Russia
• Afghanistan
• NoKo
• Drug Cartels
• Open Borders
• Law Enforcement
• Liberal Judges

And...  I am sure there are plenty others at which we point our fingers.

The solution...  WHICH IS NOT WORKING TOO WELL...  is to stop the flow of drugs into the USA.

On the surface, that seems to make a lot of logic sense.

HOWEVER...

is it the right way to go?

Sure, many young people who have not tried drugs would not try drugs if there were no drugs available.

Is that the REAL ISSUE?

My question would be:

Why are drugs coming into the USA in the first place?

My answer is:

BECAUSE AMERICANS WANT THEM!!!

Why do Americans want drugs???

This is where the focus and money should be spent.  If Americans stopped wanting drugs, it would be relatively pointless to send them here, except to hook the young ones who haven't started them yet.

As long as AMERICANS WANT ILLEGAL DRUGS, illegal drugs will find a way into this country.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND

Curtail the demand...

But first you have to find out why there is such a high demand among Americans???

• All ages
• All races
• All genders
• All Income Levels
• All Educational Levels
• All Occupations

The demand...  in my opinion...  started in the 1960s with the growth of the hippies and the counterculture movement.  Musical lyrics, believe it or not, enhanced the demand, just as RAP musical lyrics enhanced black/white violence.

Congressional leaders used racism as a diversion hiding their own corruption and re-election practices, while our govt fueled wars in other countries, so our engineering companies could become wealthy rebuilding.

While congress played, the demand for drugs slowly increased until the Cartels and China realized they could make a lot of money off of AMERICAN WEAKNESSES.

American Pride prevents us from BLAMING OURSELVES!!!
