Here's an example of how obscene it is: Senator Portman wants to spend billions of dollars to address the opioid epidemic. That sounds real good; everybody wants it ended. The problem is that nobody knows what works, except the addict deciding to break the addiction. It would be another billion-dollar fiasco, benefitting deep pocket donors, with just enough semi-success stories so it would never go away.
If anyone can solve it, it’s Jared Kushner.
