Law and Order

Dear President Trump,

When you ran for president, you promised that you would "bring back law and order." You stated that you and your AG would deal with the increase in crime and the Opioid epidemic. What have you done to keep that promise?

After 5 months in office, I have to say that it looks pretty bad. You have not appointed one U.S. Attorney. There are gaping holes in the Justice Department.

All criminologist agree that education (including job training) and jobs are a sure way to lower crime and drug use. Your Education, Labor, and Health and Human Services Secretaries are cutting programs. Your AG is promoting conviction over prevention. He is even scrapping deals with local LEOs concerning reforms and civil rights enforcement.

You promised jobs to heavy crime stricken areas. But, the latest job reports show a decline in jobs. Heck the companies that you made a "deal" with are reneging on those deals and sending more jobs overseas. Less jobs means more crime and drug use.

There are only two ways to combat the Opioid epidemic. Go after the users and go after the suppliers. Now I will grant you that this is a little tricky to handle. Drug use is a health crisis. I'm no expert in this field (and you really should be listening to those experts), be even I know that cutting access to good health insurance does not help these people. You also need to stop the people selling, supplying and promoting these drugs. Again, talk to the experts, they will tell you what is the best way to handle this.

You have had 5 months to at least start the process. Why haven't you? You are the President of all the people of the United States. You claimed to be a big businessman and manager. Managers know how to delegate, supervise and coordinate multiple jobs at once. In short, they can multi-task. So please, stop the tweeting and focus on the job.

Signed,
An Informed Citizen.
