As far as social programs, sure. Provided they don't ultimately increase costs. Like the 80s idea of 'hey, let's stop funding mental health' which has largely increased in the post-millennial problem of homelessness, crowded prisons and (possibly) more violent crimes and drug abuse. Lump costs associated with emergency healthcare for the homeless and drug abusers in with increased prison costs and we'd be better off to open up some mental health clinics.
I am not a fancy bolder but I agree with the second paragraph. We need mental health facilities. Should be state ran though and that’s where the issue came. The more the state is responsible for the better, then at least voters can vote in or out the people they want based on how much gov they want in their lives and they can pay the increased taxes.
