I realize we need to base decisions on good information. but I have to wonder if this million dollars that we have spent might have been better spent hiring more State police officers to fight this war in a more significant and efficient and meaningful way. The trouble with these reports and evaluations is that all too often they sit unread on shelves. I wonder if we would not be better off sending these studies and these reports to the Border Patrol and have them build a wall with them to stop the drug smugglers from entering this country. That is about how useful many of these studies actually are. while we are taking and siphoning away from the meaningful drug program to further study some issue which frankly we know most of the answers to. I recognize that the Congress and the President have worked together to make a decision to spend a great deal of money to solve this problem. but we are not going to solve it.
