As you know the Mexican Drug Gangs and Cartels are busy taking out their rivals and anyone that stands in their way, together with Mexican Government troops troops and local & state police. Why does this affect us in the Us? Well, for a amount of reasons.
For instance, all those drugs are sold here, and there is a spill-over affect into the Us and it is serious, it's been predicted, and keeps flaring up. In Phoenix, there have been over 300 kidnapping, yes in Phoenix a major Us City. You'd expect this sort of thing at a border city, but Phoenix is not near the border.
Trickle Up Poverty
This is genuinely tough on Mexico, especially right now while their hard economic times. You see, with the remittance back to Mexico at a severe slow down due to the current enterprise cycle slow down in the Us, and the oil prices down, Mexico is in a big pickle.
Nearly, 50% of Mexico's inflows were remittance; that is down to a trickle now. Mexico's oil sales inventory for the second largest chunk of the government's revenue. Can you see the problems? Worse, that drug money genuinely was quite a bit of the money arrival into Mexico, albeit illegal and untraceable.
Some citizens are now request why not legalize pot, and weaken the drug cartels? Sound crazy? Well yes it does, but many are using this disruption in Mexico to move their agenda for legalizing drugs. You'd be surprised how many agree with this assessment, and yet others would point to other issues with drugs.
If we legalize all of them, we have a real problem with our society, competence, productivity, health care costs, etc. It's truly splendid how all is inter-related to our economic vigor here in the Us? Some say that Mexico is on the verge of collapse, although Calderon the President says he has it under control. Gee, if that is under control, I am sure glad to live in the United States.
