1 It is a nice plan, but I don't see how anybody makes any money. Probability: Unlikely

3 I think the idea is to present a plan that people believe is rational and force the opposition to discuss their plan.

4 Of course there's no money in it. That's the appeal to taxpayers who might be wondering where all the billions went. The challenge for Pratt is to somehow make those taxpayers/voters think about it. Yes, it's a big challenge. Bass is an entrenched, old school Bolshevik with a helluva lotta money in her war chest and the media in her purse. But it's nice to see somebody give it a try.

5 But as far as I can tell we have no effective treatment for fentanyl addiction. Thanks, China.

6 AFIK, nobody has even tried to treat fentanyl addiction. Politicians like Bass prefer to give them clean syringes and pipes. They don't mind if addicts die every day because new ones come here from other states. As long as Bass can keep funnelling billions of taxpayer dollars to bogus programs like Inside Safe she'll keep doing that.
