Budgets are racist.

Governor
Could you tell me what that means in English?
Seems to me a few easy things could be dispatched with little fanfare or disagreement, although that is just a dream.
The first would be the "fiscal cliff" situation. That's a bit tougher, although solutions are available. Disagreement is guaranteed, but this is vital to the nation.
The next two seem brainless to me, probably not so much to others. They aren't vital in the same way, and that is why I see them as no brainers. The Puerto Rican Statehood request directive and the lowering of Marijuana from Schedule 1 to Schedule 4 or 5, if not outright removal from the CDS list. The first gets the ball moving on the PR vote that took place and both the Republican Party and the President have shown their support. The second allows for medical research and states to control it. The Colorado campaign was successful in part because of the way they approached it...it was The Campaign To Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol.
The Colorado initiative has jobs pathways...as each step of the process is regulated. Growers, distributors, retail outlets...and is again one of the reasons it passed, garnering support of folks like Tom Tancredo!
