    Money is fungible. $1 from pot tax, lottery tax, or DMV fee spends the same in the general ledger, and any pretense to the otherwise is just make believe.

    (If your state implements a lottery “for education” and raises $10 million, the near immediate result is reducing general fund outlay to education by $10 million.)
