    Colorado dope dispensaries preparing to accept food stamps

    "..AND it will cut into the cartel drug trade....even better" Don't fall for that one. They will just expand their human traffic business, which is worse. Getting rid of prohibition did not get rid of, or even weaken, the Mafia. The removal of one potential product will NEVER stop a criminal.

    6-8% expansion with even less inflation would be better. Inflation, ALL inflation is a devaluation of money and property. Inflation does not produce jobs either. It kills them.

    If they want a "feel good" experience they should get off their butts and do something rather than just throwing borrowed money, and other's money, at it. IF one CHOOSES to donate to charity they should be allowed to do so, on their own, to the charity of THEIR choice, and what THEY choose to...

    We don't need inflation. We need expansion. Inflation will kill expansion. Out of control debt, taxes and spending all kill expansion. Interest rates are artificially low and are discouraging saving. Devaluing our money by inflation will hurt the poorest harder than anyone.

    Colorado dope dispensaries preparing to accept food stamps

    I thought this was going to be about the Colorado public schools when I read the title. It did read "Colorado "DOPE" Dispensaries".

    Time to fill up

    It's always better to run off the top half of the tanks rather than the bottom half. I try to fuel when I am about at the halfway mark too. I pay more attention to that in winter when our lives could depend on it. As long as I have fuel in the tanks I can ride out a few days of being stuck...

    I know what that says, Monroe county no longer provides that service on a regular basis. Not enough trucks. There have also been several retirements of late, two are DU members, (even more proof we need more young people at DU ;)) they have not been replaced. Most trucks I see out on the...

    Rock salt does not work at the temps we have been experiencing. No point in wasting salt if it is below +10F. They have been plowing 24/7 in front of my house for two days. The road was STILL closed due to drifting. The interstates are the responsibility of the State, not county. We just went...

    Detroit is in the shape it is in because of "feel good" government. You and I want the same thing. For people to live better and prosper. We just want to do it in different ways. I prefer to hire rather than subsidize. Every time I have money taken from my pay to subsidize I am left with less...

    You need to go walk the streets of Detroit. It would give you an entire new outlook.

    No body said to away with unemployment, just doing away with the SECOND unemployment. We don't need TWO welfare programs. Our citizens also have to learn to help themselves. FAR too many won't work one or two low paying jobs, like many are and have in the past, it's easier to sit on extended...

    I think you will find that close to 60%, or more, of the spending is on social programs. None of those programs are working. As for the other spending, using the arguments being presented, IF we buy arms from a company, it employs people to build them, so, it's the same thing, only they are...

    It is a mess. There may be no good way out. Years of government corruption, over taxation and over spending are catching up.

    Coffee? Nope, toilet paper.

    Then you have the "double wammy" this intervention caused. When the housing market fell apart it caused a lot of seniors to lose most everything they had. Their houses were paid off, but worth nothing. Their savings got wiped out. Many who were planning on retiring, can't, they are starting over...

    Not pointing fingers, just reflecting. You are right, proper rest is very important.

    It was not all that long ago when most people had to do that at home. Well into my lifetime people had coal or wood heat that had to be refueled often. My grandparents among them. People forget how easy things are now compared to the not so distant past.
