I dont know if things have changed, but the US spends more on education than any other country. Or at least we are up there. The federal government spends the most on transfer payments. Meaning giving money to people through social programs never receiving anything in return.

so it took an opioid addict fricking over their children to make you want to do something about impoverish children, when the US government has incentivised the poors to procreate like rats since LBJ?

That's a bizarre take. My point was simply that, for a homeless child, a junkie parent is not simply a "you problem", as you asserted.

Common sense is being entitled now? What a world.

So doctors who are overprescribing xanax, painkillers, etc without doing any due diligence is a you problem? got it

this theory really can't be supported by data in any way FYI. at least not after about 2000ish.



coincidentally, during that time our country's overall wealth and the vast majority of working class (or below) have separated like oil and water. and I can back that statement up with about a trillion data points, sourced from anywhere ya like

i mean it was pretty common acceptance in this thread that no on is blaming the children.... so the "opioid crisis" is a you problem. The probelem with the homeless child is that they drew the short stray and got junkie parents. You have to trace it to the root of the problem the parent not the pills. that parent was going to ruin their life because they are that way.
