The city of San Francisco is using tax dollars to buy vodka and beer for homeless alcoholics. Who thought this was a good idea? Aside from the issue of using tax dollars to do this, how is this good for the homeless alcoholics? Shouldn’t the goal be to get these people off the street and into treatment? How are these people helped by the city feeding their addiction? Homeless alcoholics are getting free beer and vodka under a taxpayer-funded pilot program in San Francisco as city leadership grapples with the homelessness crisis plaguing its streets. The city’s Department of Public Health runs the Managed Alcohol Program (MAP) to give doses of alcohol to the addicted, Fox News reported on Saturday. Officials hope the program will “keep the homeless off the streets” and decrease incidents in which emergency services have to step in. So are they going to buy fentanyl for the druggies next? So sad. Such a beautiful city. Used to be a beautiful city................ So glad I left California! WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

“Experts say the program can save or extend lives, but critics wonder if the government would be better off funding treatment and sobriety programs instead,” Fox noted.
