- BIGHED, on 04/10/2009, -4/+52So in a way, I am a hero
- enderschaos, on 04/10/2009, -1/+19I help the economy every night! Sometimes twice!
And on weekends I give a major boost! - normlsparky, on 04/11/2009, -7/+23So, buying beer benefits the economy, but legalizing, selling and taxing marijuana wouldn't? Thanks for clearing that up. You gotta love the consistency.
- MishKabob, on 04/11/2009, -1/+17*something about marijuana*
- akchrs, on 04/11/2009, -0/+16Tonight I shall do my part to help the economy. And tomorrow morning I will help the economy of aspirin and coffee producers.
- RileyCourage, on 04/10/2009, -1/+16that's right, you're stimulating the economy. please. keep. drinking.
- pimpofpixels, on 04/10/2009, -2/+16And the worse the economy, gets the more I seem to help.
- Princeamor, on 04/11/2009, -1/+14This is ridiculous... anytime people buy more stuff it helps the economy...
- scarlettletter, on 04/10/2009, -1/+13If its for the economy!
- amabaie, on 04/10/2009, -4/+16Whenever someone talks about "creating jobs", it is important to understand that there is no such thing. In fact, what beer drinking does is reallocate human resources to beer drinking - oops, I mean to brewing - that otherwise would have been more usefully employed. For instance, in wine-drinking - oops, I mean in fermenting grapes.
- brucealmighty, on 04/10/2009, -1/+11Next up for Fox News in Las Vegas : Prostitution Helps Economy!
- Asheis, on 04/11/2009, -0/+9@rox
it's not our fault your area supplies terrible beer.
We've got so many good breweries.. I never even need to buy out of american for my booze.. rogue, widmer, etc etc.. - JuanBSU, on 04/11/2009, -0/+9I really enjoyed where you, put the comma.
- Ryanw430, on 04/11/2009, -0/+9I work valet in Vegas; you'd be surprised how many people ask me if it is legal to drink and drive here...of course, even after I tell them no, they take their drink with them anyhow...
- COINTELPROAgent, on 04/11/2009, -2/+10Heh. Only if you buy American!
- twodollars, on 04/11/2009, -2/+10So will Marijuana.
- inactive, on 04/11/2009, -0/+7it's all a trick, the number one supporting companies of national anti-drug foundation is tobacco and alcohol companies.
- inactive, on 04/11/2009, -0/+7I'll drink to that.
*crickets* - DDION, on 04/11/2009, -2/+9As a college student, do I qualify for some type of bailout?
- Ryanw430, on 04/11/2009, -0/+7i would, but it took the cops here 45 mins to respond to a break-in at my sister's apartment and they live about 1/4 of a mile from a police station...i can't hold peoples' cars against their owners' wills either unfortunately...
- Frankyfan3, on 04/11/2009, -1/+7You should probably call the cops if you can't stop someone who is obviously getting on the road in an intoxicated state. They could kill someone.
- Trichomonas, on 04/11/2009, -0/+6Save your money unless you're 99.99% sure you or your spouse/partner are not going to unemployed anytime soon.
- fightingforair, on 04/11/2009, -0/+5What if I don't want to help the Las Vegas economy?
- ObamaYouth, on 04/11/2009, -2/+7or smoke a cigarette. in the name of Economy we go.
- peticsu, on 04/11/2009, -1/+6was this article written by Cindy McCain?
- mycoplasma, on 04/11/2009, -1/+6Well, looks like I'd better go order up a "stimulus package".
- rheaume, on 04/11/2009, -0/+5For sure, all those lawyers, cops, tow trucks, medics, hookers, casinos, etc are cashing in everyday
- maz2331, on 04/11/2009, -1/+5Heresh to t'e ecommommy <hic>.
- Frankyfan3, on 04/11/2009, -1/+5This may interest you:.
Smoking takes years off your life and adds dollars to the cost of health care. Yet nonsmokers cost society money, too - by living longer.
http://www.physorg.com/news158395954.html
"Smokers die some 10 years earlier than nonsmokers, according to the CDC, and those premature deaths provide a savings to Medicare, Social Security, private pensions and other programs." - diskoh, on 04/11/2009, -0/+4I don't think he was trying to argue with the author. He did not invent the argument; many people, even the President, make the argument that legalizing marijuana wouldn't help the economy. normlsparky was drawing a parallel between how beer helps the economy and how marijuana would do the same thing. Again, it's a valid comparison.
- iamacyborg, on 04/11/2009, -0/+4That made complete sense other than the "oops" bits which I did not understand the point of.
- billmill, on 04/11/2009, -1/+5Nice list dude, I'll digg you.
It makes sense that the Drug companies/Insurance companies would have to most to gain from a drug free America. - 2of8, on 04/11/2009, -0/+4Do you mean to trick them? It is not safe. If you might lose your job in the next week or next month, you'd have to be pretty stupid to spend money.
- oceandead, on 04/11/2009, -1/+5logic fail
please try again. - Frankyfan3, on 04/11/2009, -1/+5Prohibition helps the black market economy & the violent criminals who run it.
It was as true today as it was when beer was prohibited. - pilzburybizkit, on 04/11/2009, -0/+4Craft beers brewed by Anheuser-Busch. Are you familiar with the old robot saying "Does not compute"?
- Tichondrius74, on 04/11/2009, -0/+4Doesn't buying things in general help the economy?
- inactive, on 04/11/2009, -0/+4dugg... cause you beat me to it!
*sips Guinness and farts* - diskoh, on 04/11/2009, -3/+7Unsure why someone would digg that down. Valid point.
- Frankyfan3, on 04/11/2009, -2/+6It's bigger than that.

http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/4258.html - bullox, on 04/11/2009, -0/+4Certain areas are legal, such as Pahrump, 90 miles outside Vegas.
- maz2331, on 04/11/2009, -2/+6Beer: It's What's For Dinner.
Or is that beef? I forget.... - cly8419, on 04/11/2009, -1/+5Let's legalize suicide. Not only will that create new jobs in the health care industry, it will also get rid of people who can't compete in a difficult economy. Social Darwinism for the win!
- yerdaddy, on 04/11/2009, -0/+3At this point people should be carefully analyzing to the maximum extent possible who they're making rich with the ***** they buy. It's the last resort you have.
- DDION, on 04/11/2009, -0/+3I think Robin Meade is planning a salute to you tomorrow on the early show there.
- thebeginning, on 04/11/2009, -1/+4I turned 21 yesterday.
What a terrific birthday article this has been. - raydeen, on 04/11/2009, -0/+3More like a stimulus six-package!
- raydeen, on 04/11/2009, -0/+3I'ma gonna get me a case o beer and drink it Obama self!
- RAEP, on 04/11/2009, -1/+4Because drinking beer automatically makes you a stupid person (63% of the american populace), just like how smoking weed automatically turns you into a fiendish drug addict who would hock his grandma for drug money. Seriously, get a ***** life outside of the internet. You know absolutely nothing.
- bci84, on 04/11/2009, -0/+3You have to get microbrews if you want good American. I think Great Lakes, Magic Hat, and Sam Adams are good.
