No doubt there is also a significant amount of taxpayer money spent on enforcing liquor and drunk driving laws and yet we still try to enforce them and we still have drunk drivers so apparently it hasn't deterred that behavior either. Should we just give up since it obviously hasn't achieved the desired result?
