Why is it that when the federal government steps in to make something more affordable, the price ends up going through the roof? This guy takes a shot at housing and college education, but I think you could throw health care in there,
too. So why not use it to drive up the price of illegal drugs?
That got me thinking, what would the government do if it wanted to price most consumers out of the market? What would it take for government to make cocaine prohibitively expensive for most people?
It's not as silly as it sounds to anyone paying attention to the drug war, and I'm sure the usual chorus of anti-drug people would flip out, but what's really funny is that most people that currently use illegal drugs would
hate for their drugs to become legal. It would make it immensely more difficult to get.
