Worldwide Incarceration Rate, War on Drugs, the Cost, Law Inc
In the United States, the prison population has increased from 300,000 in 1972 to 2.3 million
people today. One in 31 adults in the United States is in jail, prison, on probation or parole.
The American government currently spends over 68 billion dollars a year on incarceration.
Growing evidence indicates that drug treatment and counseling programs are far more effective in reducing drug addiction and abuse than is incarceration. Needle exchange, compulsory treatment, education, counseling, drug substitutes like Methadone or Naxolene have proved highly effective in reducing addiction, overdose and the spread of HIV and Hepatitis C
Over five million people are on probation and parole in America.3 Currently, one out of 100 adults is in jail or prison and one out of 31 adults is in jail, prison on probation or parole.4 The consequences of increased incarceration and penal control strategies have been dramatic and costly. Many states spend in excess of $50,000 a year to incarcerate each prisoner in a state prison or facility, including non-violent, low-level drug offenders. Corrections spending by state and federal governments has risen from $6.9 billion in 1980 to $68 billion in 2006 in America.5 During the ten year period between 1985 and 1995, prisons were constructed at a pace of one new prison opening each week.
In the United States, drug arrests have tripled in the last 25 years, however most of these arrests have been for simple possession of low-level drugs. In 2005, nearly 43% of all drug arrests were for marijuana offenses. Marijuana possession arrests accounted for 79% of the growth in drug arrests in the 1990s.11 Nearly a half million people are in state or federal prisons or a local jail for a drug offense, compared to 41,000 in 1980.12 Most of these people have no history of violence or high-level drug selling activity.
$68 billion that can be used else where in society, instead of promoting Law Inc. Private prisons.Since the war on drugs which has been enhanced and started by most Republican presidents has been the cause of the high increase of incarcerations. Heroin in the biggest problem in overdosing, spread of HIV and Hep B and C. Prisons, policing, lawyers, court procecutions are big business and in some counties, judges having stake in the profiteering in the system. If we regulated and legalized drugs and treated it as a sickness, there would be less stress on America society.

Global Economic Outlook for 2017-2020
Global GDP in this time period should be around 3-4% annually. China, South America, South East Asia, East Europe and Central America are looking good in this GDP range and possibility of doing better. The Feds tampering with interest rates including Western Europe, Japan, Australia will be bad in which it uses these interest rate hike as to prop up their currencies and is a hidden sales tax upon their population in sales of high end asset such as cars and houses.The USA made a big mistake, pulling out of the Trans Pacific Partnership that all will participate in in the ASEAN region, they, not us will prosper from this move. Nationalism and protectionism can be counter productive in this aspect. Tariffs and trade wars will only bring hardship on the American consumer in interest rate hikes to control inflation and the weakening American currency. The new Trump administration is and will be a hindrance to this process. Immigration is important in the aspect of growing Western European economies and the North American economy and pro population growth enhancing social safety nets, medical care for the elderly and the social security system to replenish the fund through contribution of immigrants payrolls into the fund. Wind and solar will play a big part in keeping oil prices at bay and keeping the rogue Middle East and Islamic influence at bay withstanding mixing freedoms, government and religions together which is not good. Solar energies can play a big part in desert countries in power production that can be sold to other countries in the form of electricity. Electric car are and now taking off replacing fossil fuel burning cars, buses and trucks. Oil has seen its hey day. Diversification in the economies are important such as not relying on one sector such as oil has been to most countries, this will determine who survives and who does not in the geopolitical stage. BRIC, such as Brazil, Russia, India and China will dominate and reshape the world economy and geopolitical status later in the coming years and decades. China and India will be the dominate players. Hindu and Atheist influence will be great. Africa will play a bigger part in providing a global cheap labor force in the decades to come and immigration from these countries should be favorable to countries that will accept them into their country. Africa has a big potential in the commodities such as oil, coal, natural gas, aluminum, copper and iron ore. Imports of these product from these countries would serve better by being produced and shipped from these countries. Diplomacy is cheaper and better than playing the worlds biggest military power. Coalition of countries to solve problems is better in saving the Americans tax payers money which can be spent better solving social problems at home. The days of the military industrial complex must come to an end so the world can come together in cooperation as one world in co op with one another. Islam must accept moderate Islam, and understand as the American forefathers understood that religion does not mix well with the peoples government and that democracy must prevail. Extremism, Fanaticism, Nationalism, Protectionism must be bought to an end so that the world can develop into one global open society, open bordered, free marketed, multicultural, free thinking and free spirited world.
