In a $7.5 trillion budget… the President is allocating just $40 million to combat fentanyl—the leading killer of young adults in America.
40M/110k fentanyl deaths = $363.63/death.
Is that all these people are worth to President Biden?
“40M/110k fentanyl deaths = $363.63/death.

Well, not to be too cynical here (cough), but $40M is allocated. By the time all the government employees “managing” the program and their friends in the local agencies who are on the ground to perform the “help” get their cuts, the actual amount that goes to “help” is probably more like $1.97 per fentanyl user (rounded up to the nearest cent.)
