Ben Carson is such a reasonable, and very underappreciated, man.
He states:
“Look at Texas and how much their homelessness has gone down over the last year and over the last five to seven years. Significant decreases because the policies don’t encourage people to sleep on the streets.”
“They encourage people to go to the places where they can get the kind of help that will get them into the right situation. And then I have to look at the way people treat people who are mentally ill.”
“Some people say it’s compassionate just to let them do anything they want to do. That’s not compassionate at all.”
“What’s compassionate is helping people who cannot take care of themselves manage. And If we can get them into the right setting so they’re getting proper medications and counseling, many of them become quite functional at that point.”
This is certainly worth the watch –
