I just read an amazing article from City Journal which is a publication of the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research (MI), a leading free-market think tank. In general the article is about the present situation of drug addiction and homelessness. I have given some thought to these problems, and I freely admit that I do not have the answer.
I am basically of the school of thought that personal responsibility must be a stimulating factor to get homeless people off of the streets and drug addicts off drugs. However after reading this article I discovered that this is not actually what is happening, and furthermore, what is happening is insane … fulfilling Einstein’s famous quote (“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result!”).
Some facts from this same article:
“We know that current policies don’t work. Drug overdoses have risen 500 percent in just two decades. More than 100,000 Americans overdosed last year, the vast majority from opioids. More drug abuse has been accompanied by more violence and crime, as well as increases in homelessness, especially on the street. Many cities have seen a doubling in annual homeless deaths just over the last five years. Earlier fears about heroin or the crack epidemic pale in comparison with the modern blight.”
“Most Americans understand the obvious: the government shouldn’t be supporting drug abuse and crime. The taxpayer should not feed such habits or make it harder for addicts to get clean. In a better world, the government would help damaged individuals to move ahead with their lives. But today, as many homeless people know, the government is helping them kill themselves on the public dime.”
The article is long but eye-opening that I have included how to find it and thus read it for yourself.
