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!
