So Congress has approved 400 million dollars in aid to Mexico to help them “fight” drugs. More specifically, to fight the organizations of people in Mexico dedicated to supplying U.S. demand for illicit drugs.

Before I’ve spoken on John “Humpty Dumpty” Walters, and his incessant call for more money and more weapons and more people to continue prohibitionist policies, under some kind of ruse that this will lead to “victory.”

So long as the U.S. citizenry demands illicit drugs, however, victory cannot be achieved. As I’ve stated before: drugs wind up in maximum security prisons, how the hell can anyone reasonably state that chemicals can be kept out of an entire country?

While it might be a sensitive subject, these drug cartels have money because people pay top dollar for illicit chemicals. Nothing new has been stated here, in fact Immortal Technique sums it up succinctly in his piece “Peruvian Cocaine” (For just the text of his lyrics, click here).

Simply put: we are spending 400 million of our tax dollars in Mexico alone for ineffective policy. This policy is to combat people providing us with the drugs we demand and pay for. Completely reduced? We’re throwing money at money we’ve spent, to stop us from buying what we’ve bought.

And this is considered rational?
