Blog Redo

Saying the word recession to a politician is like a wizard saying Voldemort, you plain and simple just don't say it, that is because the recession is so important but so hard to fix and most likely the only solution is time. however, there are some actions that could help boost the economy in the mean time. One very simple and very effective way would be to legalize marijuana, it is already legal as a medical treatment in three states (I think it's three). If it was legalized it would be a huge boost in each states economy in just pure sales, but it could also be taxed even heavier than tobacco. This would have the same effect as when Prohibition was stopped, which effectively stopped the recession of its time. Another not so easy but definitely needed change is that we need to bring the money back into the US, and stop importing so many goods from other countries. This would be a hard task to quit importing so much from countries such as China, but if we instilled a small "tariff" or tax on non-American goods then the people would start buying more US products and after a short period of time manufacturers would come back to the US due to the increase in money and the economy would not just jump back up but it would flourish.
