Congress's modis operandi since forever. create a crisis, blur how it began by blaming the opposition, institute legislation to fix the congressionally created crisis, make sure Congress gets rich from the cure.... Voila! crisis averted... sort of. Reagan ran head first into it when he signed legislation to end mental health incarceration because it was on the premise that the states would build psychiatric care facilities tondeal with mental health issues.... they didn't & now Reagan is blamed for the mental health crisis that Congress created with their lies.
true, sadly, Reagan thought he was doing good & the state would follow through. Instead, the prison population increased astronomically because there were no services for the mentally ill. They'd get arrested, released, get back into drugs, then arrested again! Then, Jerry Brown signed legislation that ended that cycle and emptied the prisons - out on the street because of empty do-gooder legislation that sounded good on paper, but failed in execution. And current leftist govt makes it worse every day thinking they are doing them a favor. I'll bet there are many many more living on the street with drug & mental issues in California than actually working & politicians won't do anything about it because feelings might be hurt.
and the reason leftists don't do anything about mental/drug problems? because leftist claptrap psychiatric mumbo jumbo doesn't work. Only the time-honored method of making people responsible for their actions and faith-based options work, but leftists can't let that happen!

Thanks, Gary, for a part of history, most likely not well known about.
