8. i'm looking to cut the tax cut
re-instate property taxes (roll back prop 13) and demand we get our tax money from Washington, something we haven't had in ages!

I'd also stop enforcement of the "just say no" policies, and arresting pot users. That alone will save and bring in millions if not a billion or 4. Enforcing the tax code on the rich alone will pay for most of the educational system.

If someone who owns pot commits an actual crime, then prosecute that crime. this piling on because someone has pot (esp the people who have actual legitimate medical needs) in itself is a waste of money that could go towards stopping real crime.

I would start a program that allows people to buy licenses to own X ounces of pot, and a license system where you are allowed to grow X plants. You pay your taxes on all sales, and I guarantee the "pot crime" rate will plummet, and the tax coffers will start filling.

Of course I also realize you are just a brainless freeper who can't stand equality for all, esp the poor students who will benefit from these program, but it is a reasonable Q, so I have lowered myself to answer it for the people with real interest in an answer.
