I think she has a point. The sick ones need to be in an asylum. The addicted ones need to accept a treatment program or ship out.

The leftist trope is “Ronald Reagan closed all the mental institutions. I used to have an issue of Scientific American (back when it was still scientific and American) from when Carter was finishing out his term. The article described how the mental institution population was down by half.

Mental health professionals were claiming that the mentally ill could be better treated by medication and they should be released to mingle with the general public. The ACLU was suing saying it violates someone’s constitutional rights to do an involuntary admit without a trial by jury.

Let’s reopen the mental institutions.
