It's obviously working, the drug problem hasn't gotten worse.

Even if that is total population and not percent of population, the numbers still suck.

Beat me to it, and said much more eloquently than I would have.

Well there is a very strong correlation between the green line doing whatever the hell it wants and the blue line staying exactly where it is.

I'd like to see a graph of drug control spending Vs profitability of the pharmaceutical industry. Or drug control spending and the profitability of private prisons (and the companies like Victoria's Secret who use prisoners as forced cheap labour. [/predictable rant]

Interesting, the shape was defined before the TV and pop-culture phase of Batman.

Huh. I remember always hearing that gas is at all time lows when you account for inflation. Seems that isn't true any more.

Here is one silly graphic...

... and I dispute any idea that Spokane is a happier place
to live than any other place in Washington or Oregon.
It's more likely there is just one or two very happy guys in Spokane
with computers and nothing else to do than Tweet all day and night.

... and Boulder CO, maybe, but Ft Collins ???
... likewise, San Clemente and Simi Valley, CA ???

Lots of poor kids in the schools now.

The article points out that this is a chart of the percent of kids who get a free or reduced price school lunch because they meet the federal income level for that.

The meals program run by the Department of Agriculture is a rough proxy for poverty, because a family of four could earn no more than $40,793 a year to qualify in 2011.
