   Why don't we just empty the prisons.  With all the crooks out on the   
   street and all the new thefts, sales of new stuff will boom and then   
   there will be more taxes collected.  What with all the mayhem that   
   will ensue the hospitals will get busier too and that's got to be good   
   for the economy.  Why not just give every prisoner a hammer on his way   
   out so they can smash cars at random and that will also generate a   
   whole lot of new body shop and windshield repair work. Plus the taxes   
   collected on those sales.  You've SOLVED the AZ economic crisis!!!
