Noelle Bush will be thrilled, her Unka Smirk cares
I am betting this one never sees the light of day:
Another cause of hopelessness is addiction to drugs. Addiction crowds out friendship, ambition, moral conviction, and reduces all the richness of life to a single destructive desire. As a government, we are fighting illegal drugs by cutting off supplies, and reducing demand through anti-drug education programs. Yet for those already addicted, the fight against drugs is a fight for their own lives.
Too many Americans in search of treatment cannot get it. So tonight I propose a new $600 million program to help an additional 300,000 Americans receive treatment over the next three years.
The Far Right-wingers will turn this into roadkill before spring has sprung. Amazingly enough, you would have thought that Smirky would have personalized this a little bit, it might have sounded better than just the boilerplate that's in about every SOTU since forever.
