ILLINOIS CLOSING STATE-RUN DRUG AND ALCOHOL TREATMENT CENTERS

ILLINOIS CLOSING STATE-RUN DRUG AND ALCOHOL TREATMENT CENTERS


The Obama regime just claimed a drop in unemployment. Well, that comes as truly unbelievable news to several states teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.

A long-time front runner in the state bankruptcy stakes is Illinois. According to the British Daily Mail “Tens of thousands of Illinois residents are expected to be affected when drug and alcohol treatment and prevention centres across the state have their budgets cut from March 15. The harsh budget cuts, proposed by Illinois governor Pat Quinn, who is a Democrat, will mean that from next month, all state funding will be cut. After that date, only federal (national) Medicaid dollars will be available to fund the state’s drug and alcohol treatment and prevention programmes, which means that some centres are facing closure.”

Isn’t Medicaid being phased out now in favor of Obamacare? You know, the program that at least two federal judges have declared un-Constitutional?

The Daily Mail notes “Talking to the News-Gazette, which serves East Central Illinois, Sara Howe, CEO of the Illinois Alcoholism and Drug Dependence Association said: ’80 per cent of our clients on March 15 would be thrown out of care.’ That adds up to around 55,000 people who will lose their help battling drugs.”

The only people getting drug treatment in Illinois will be the upper class, who can afford this. Perhaps, Illinois will just rip up the person’s license and confiscate the car in the future.

Once again, folks, here’s what’s happening: the Blue States (i.e. those controlled by Democrats and with lots of non-Whites) are just plain running out of money, as in there ain’t no more.

Drug treatment programs are a long-time liberal boondoggle Most drug addicts are non-White, and through these programs they get all kinds of goodies like food, medicine and sometimes cash without having to work for it. In addition, the staff of these places are largely lefty-liberal “do-gooders” who cash in at taxpayer’s expense to deal with a “problem” that liberals and their diversity created to begin with.

When the country was 90 percent White and ruled by conservative White males, say a hundred years ago, there was no drug problem.

Who really cares if 55,000 more black and Latino drug addicts are turned loose on the streets of Rahm Emanuel’s Chicago? The city is a write-off anyway and has been for a generation. Let it turn into another Detroit. Maybe that will wake up people to racial reality.
