What I propose has no risk of sending us back to the stone age. It's based on simple mathematics. The US government and people are drowning in debt. Money is debt. Printing more money is generating more debt. This is going to make things better? Until the bad money is flushed out of the system we will not have a healthy economy. The sooner it happens the sooner things start improving.
Bernanke has even talked about how the government can just buy new cars off lots and then destroy them to stimulate the economy. That simply does not hold up. Making cars to trash them is not productive just like digging a hole so the person behind you can fill it back in is not productive. Compensating people for such things will end up sending us back to the stone age...
Industrial hemp has a lot of uses and when the farm subsidies are gone farmers will need a crop to plant in place of all the garbage corn crop they have been growing. "Castrating" the DEA is a money saver. Pardoning non-violent drug offenders is a money saver. Legally being able to sell marijuana will stimulate the economy.
