Yes, I know how to raise the money. By ending CA,Three strikes for nonviolent crimes billions of tax dollars would become available. Life should not be a sentence term for property theft. See my son's story. The cost to house each inmate $65,000 a year. Stop handing tax dollars to the prison industry and put it towards the transportation. Http://www.jeremysstory.com

Stop harboring and pandering to ILLEGAL aliens, and we would have enough money for just about anything we want. Plus most of our costs will go down, including housing, education, and medical care. Even though there is bound to be a firestorm of backlash to my post, this is an indisptable fact. There, now that I have said what many of you are thinking, you don't have to be afraid to put it out there.
