Opioid deaths skyrocket in PA as Trump is unable to contain crisis (but he can golf and tweet)

[Two Thumbs]

Drugs are a personal choice...

Drugs are a public health crisis.

for the last 50 years

but now, all of a sudden, now, it's trumps fault

now

President Donald Trump is failing miserably in the battle against the opioid crisis.
What a pathetic, lazy President. He should drop that fucking golf club and get to work.
'Worst year,' 'terrifying trend': Opioid, heroin deaths in '17 ravage Central Pa. counties

It got this way under obama

not that you care about these people, clearly you don't give one fuck.

You are right about that!

I work in a hospital that has seen a huge increase of drug related admissions and deaths since obama was elected.

leftist like to pretend all this happened under trump.

trump started putting money into it shortly after his election, thing is, you can't force people to be adults

The drug abuse problem is one of the many reasons why Trump was elected. It’s another big problem democrats have been ignoring.

Druggies quit when they choose to quit not when a president or Congress passes pointless legislation. At some point in your life you are responsible for your own choices and that includes your choice to do drugs.

not much he can do and really should do.

make all the trash legal and make people deal with their own problems.


If you get addicted to something, you can no longer claim you had no idea that that would happen

 

[BluesLegend]

Every time Trump attempts to solve a problem asshole Dem's sue in court to stop him, this is for you OP

If I drink my liver to death can I blame a politician?

Leftie logic is absurd

About all he can do is build a wall that’ll help curb the flow. That’s something democrats are totally against.

No one said it was his fault. It's his responsibility. There's a difference.

 

[Hal-9000]

I want it built just to spite you guys

Yes. That is, of course, a terrible reason to throw away money on a wall that will be torn down immediately by the next Democrat President.

So the next democrap is going to let drugs pour into the USA so that Americans can die.

Face it Trump is a genius.

Another massive failure by the Orange Clown after the Democrats did so much to prevent it. Next tweet: Donald Trump fails to reign in space junk falling in from outer space.

The democrats caused this problem by letting drug smugglers come in from Mexico

You got that kid?

No they didn't, the opioid crisis was started by big pharma as both parties turned their back and let them make yuuuuge profits while hooking millions of people on that shit! This is a problem shared by both parties!

Big pharma does not make heroin, cocaine and meth................

Grow up

 

[John Shaw]

Good. My hope is that the dead were Trump supporters.

 

[jon_berzerk]

yes it is

addiction is a behavior and all behaviors are a choice

Addiction is not a chosen behavior............

Are you an addict trying to justify your sickness?

yes it is ask any recovering addict ya idiot

A recovering addict does choose to be a recovering addict, none of them chose to be addicts, if they did they would not be recovering addicts.

What are you choosing to be addicted too?

well as i stated it is a behavior (a choice) one that must be made

in order to stop the addictive behavior

Stop with the personal slams troll

or off to iggy for you you newbie fuckers are a dime a dozen

You are mocking sick people, you deserve to be slammed.

That said you are obviously an addict in denial

i didnt mock anyone addiction is not a sickness

i dont use drugs or alcohol

bye bye troll c ya in your next sock

Time to thin the herd....they know better

Summing Up
Addiction involves an initial “honey moon” period, followed by alternating periods of remission and relapse, and then an eventual return to a more sober life. Most addicts quit using drugs at clinically significant levels, they typically quit without professional help, and in the case of illicit drugs, they typically quit before the age of 30. The correlates of quitting include many of the factors that influence voluntary acts, but not, according to Figure Figure1,1, drug exposure once drug use meets the criteria for dependence. Thus, we can say that addiction is ambivalent drug use, which eventually involves more costs than benefits (otherwise why quit?). Behavioral choice principles predict ambivalent preferences, semi-stable suboptimal behavior patterns, and the capacity to shift from one option to another. In contrast, the brain disease account of addiction fails to predict the high quit rates; it fails to predict the correlates of quitting; it fails to predict the temporal pattern of quitting; and it is tied to unsupportable assumptions, such as the claims that neural adaptations, heritability, and irrationality are prima facie evidence of disease. To be sure “compulsion” and “choice” can be seen as points on a continuum, but Figure Figure11 and research on quitting make it clear that addiction is not a borderline case.

It is time to think about addiction in terms of what the research shows, particularly the more recent epidemiological studies, and it is time to abandon the medical model of addiction. It does not fit the facts. The matching law, melioration, and hyperbolic discounting predict that drugs and similar commodities will become the focus of destructive, suboptimal patterns of behavior. These same choice models also predict that individuals caught in a destructive pattern of behavior retain the capacity to improve their lot and that they will do so as a function of changes in their options and/or how they frame their choices. This viewpoint fits the facts of addiction and provides a practical guide to measures that will actually help addicts change for the better.

LOL only a moron would say that addiction is not a sickness, as every health plan considers addiction to be a sickness as addicts are admitted to detox.

Again what you are really saying is that you are not sick since you are obviously an addict

Precisely what is it you think he should "get to work" doing to "contain" it? I think you have the President confused with God.

Opioid drugs and fentynol, did they over prescribe those for the better part of 15 years or not? Remember your hero Rush was hooked on them!

Rush was using 20 doctors, this is not the fault of any one of those doctors, it was his fault. I have been prescribed Tylenol with Codeine, Percocet, Talwin and morphine sulfate narcotics in my life, they all treated the pain at the time and I was never once addicted. Are you planning to ban all painkillers? because of drug users
