As a Ret. LEO, we as a society are lacking the fundamental resources to deal with the ills of society ie Drug addiction, mental illness and other individual afflictions that plague members of society. If our government can easily donate hundreds of billions to foreign countries for their war efforts, we can easily afford to fund our cities and communities basic public health services to address those in desperate need be it mental health or other human services. We are facing a national division that’s being exploited by corporations and their owners, who want to end social welfare, unions and civil rights because there’s no profit in that endeavor. We must enhance Public welfare that only enriches society as a whole.
