Well then, legalize all drugs and take the 'business disputes' off the
street.

As a person with a libertarian bent, I'm all for that, despite what I
feel about drugs themselves.

Failed government programs: Prohibition, DEA/the War on Drugs, DHS/the
War on Terror, Welfare/the War on Poverty, Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac,
Obamacare (and it hasn't even started yet but I fear it will bring an
actual American revolution into reality), social security, Medicare,
TARP/the bailouts, Cash for Clunkers, DOE, the Dept. of Education,
FEMA, BATFE, USPS, Amtrak, the Veterans Administration, and the Border
Patrol (good guys who aren't allowed to do their jobs.)

OK, guys, name your favorite failed gov't programs!
