    I know I'm not saying anything new and pretty much everyone of any brain already knows this but here is someone else to just say it again. And yet the politicians always seem to want to up the ante. Wonder who is paying them to do that.

    U.S. Agents Launder Mexican Profits of Drug Cartels



    Last year, the D.E.A. seized about $1 billion in cash and drug assets, while Mexico seized an estimated $26 million in money laundering investigations, a tiny fraction of the estimated $18 billion to $39 billion in drug money that flows between the countries each year.

    TJ likes to swear so "language warning" - but what he says here is pretty germane to the issue.
