But although the ratio is shifting, Obama still intends to spend the bulk of U.S. drug war money on efforts to block producers and dealers. His plan to spend a total of $14.4 billion attacking the supply side is $2.5 billion more than would be spent on the demand side.
The $25 billion in funding is spread across at least 10 different agencies, with the bulk of it going to the Health and Human Services Department ($8.7 billion), Justice Department ($7.8 billion) and Homeland Security Department ($4.1 billion).
Meanwhile, direct spending on the war on drugs continues to climb. In 2010, when Obama launched his new anti-drug approach, the country spent $24.6 billion on anti-drug programs. If Obama gets his way, in 2015 it will spend that—plus $740 million more.

Here it comes today. Seven people arrested either guards or jail employees they did not specify helping him escape. You knew it was coming. More government workers. If they aren't going to enforce the laws why don't they just legalize it. We might as well just let everyone do what they want.
It's funny to me though you guys say drug charges are non violent stuff. That new york guy killed a sheriff that's violence. The guy that got off on cocaine charges killed a cop Omaha.
It reminds me of stuff like this. https://crimeblog.dallasnews.com/2013/09/feds-slain-dallas-man-had-900000-stashed-in-safes-28-million-in-narcotics-sales-recorded-on-detailed-ledgers.html/
A guy selling drugs gets shot and killed by a guy that watches people working for drug cartels and robs them. So what happens to the guy that robbed him someone shot and killed him to. Drugs are insanely dumb. All they lead to is robberies, murders, and corruption.
You don't see someone say well that guy robbed that house because he drank a pepsi. Or that guy robbed that church because he just smoked a pall mall, or because he just robbed a 7/11 because he was up on orange juice. Drugs lead to violence.
You don't see little Timmy go rob a burger king employee because he has 900,000 dollars of cash in a safe at his home. If they aren't going to enforce the laws then I just say legalize it because what they have going now is honestly a joke. Karma will catch you sooner or later whether it's now or 20 years down the road.
