California’s “beloved” Governor Gavin Newsom has found a new way to waste your taxdollars – paying drug addicts to stay sober. SMH!
If something like this had a chance to work, we suppose it could be worth the investment, but common sense tells us what the outcome will be — and even the beneficiaries of these funds admit it …
“I thought, I can [test clean for] 12 weeks. I’ve done that before when my dealer was in jail,” one meth addict told an AP reporter, “when I’m done I’ll have $330 bucks to get high with.” Sad, but predictable.
Even the most vocal advocates for this program admit that “while research shows it is effective in keeping people sober during the program, the effect doesn’t last much beyond six months after treatment concludes.”
So what is the point? All Newsom and his liberal allies have done is enable the user to extend the duration of his or her illness – and all at the expense of hardworking taxpayers.
Recall anyone?
