Health of a State Continued

As established in the last post, the primary function of any political institution is the preservation and prosperity of its people. in this post, I will discuss the prioritization of public health and safety issues by the US government to further ascertain the current US government's performance.

This tweet, which was retweeted by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, calls to attention the drug epidemic in America, in contrast to the current attention on the border wall. It argues that the city of Baltimore is not receiving sufficient funding in order to prevent and save people from overdosing on drugs. A further argues that the border wall will do nothing to save lives specifically the lies of people who are overdosing. It has been a justification of the current administration that the border wall is a national emergency in crisis. However many scientists and policymakers are you otherwise. And even if the border what is a crisis, many more still, argue that a wall is not the solution that will fix the problem. 

It is imperative that the US government's primary directive be the health and prosperity of its people. Wasting time on partisan actions for purely political gain do nothing to serve the sovereign. It is its responsibility to take the most credible actions that will fix any potential crisis weather on the border or in the heartland of America. If there is indeed a crisis in the border, it needs to be addressed. If there indeed isn't underfunding which is causing death from overdose, it needs to be addressed.
