32. and
liberals, Liberals, Democrats and Progressives should all be able to agree that rather than saying, 'go catch some real criminals' we should all be demanding reductions, serious reductions in law enforcement, prosecution, prison, court services, and every other related system in this country. Fund addiction programs and mental health facilities. With better availability to these services I would bet on overall crime reduction...which would again justify the reduced budgets above.
