we learned earlier about shirley. what a great story. i grew up in a meat packing down. and her parents worked in a rendering plant. in my home town we had the world's largest meat packing plant. my mom was a home maker. she died when i was 15. i was the only one who was able to go to college. my brothers and sisters worked in oil refineries, worked for 40 years in a grocery store. one worked in a public school, another worked as an administrative assistant for 40 years or so. i share that with you because we are all good with the experience, upbringing and the values that we are taught in our family of origin in our neighbors, communities and schools, and you learn some things along the way. here are a few that i have learned that apply well to the debate going on in our nation. the first one is this. we can't spend more than we have. i remember my mom sitting at the kitchen table. for some people this is a metaphor for me. this was my family. this was my memory. we didn't have a lot of memory. my mom would sit at the kitchen table with the checkbook and fret almost to

shirley, hi. >> caller: hi. thank you for a terrific discussion.uestion is this, do europe and the asian nations that you mentioned have the same rampant problem with illicit drug use, particularly heroin and cocaine, that we have here in the united states? and to what extent might that be a contributing factor to societal problems? >> host: mr. reid? >> guest: yeah, that's a very good question, yeah. so the european countries all have problems with drugs, and there, too, they've dealt with this problem in a different way. for the most part, they have a lot of drugs coming in from africa and east asia coming right across the med into these european countries. but for the most part they don't treat these as criminal problems. they treat it as a health issue. they've basically decriminalized drug use, and if you have a drug problem, if you're an addict, they take you to a hospital. they take you to a treatment center and try to get you off it in a medical setting rather than prison. the country that really pioneered this, we all know about the nether
