Capitalization for emphasis
fails to achieve its ends when overused as in capitalizing 60 consecutive words.
Changing the law to no longer criminalize "debauchery and degeneracy"
A great deal of "debauchery and degeneracy" is already legal; is government authorized or competent to exert force against, say, fornication?
may be expedient
Straw man - the issue is not expedience but a conservative recognition of the limits to the good that government can bring about. Government resources ( = taxpayer money) can no more bring about an end to "debauchery and degeneracy" than they can an end to poverty.

YYour opinion may be valid.. but nothing else has helped you follow the logic!
Simply: decriminalization merely legalizes crime.
Criminal attorneys push to profit from changing law to make illegal legal.
