Trump’s speech yesterday laying out his long-awaited plan to combat the opioid crisis was more of the same: A lot of talk, but no action. His plan is short on specifics; some of his proposals are “way off track;” and he announced no clear funding plan, while he simultaneously wants to cut key sources of funding for opioid treatment. We’re not the only ones saying it… see for yourself:

PennLive.com Editorial: “If, however, the president indulges his instinct to attack the problem mainly with an enforcement sledgehammer – for instance by pressing for the death penalty for drug dealers – he is likely to grab headlines but do little to reverse what has become a national calamity.”

Bloomberg Editorial: “Another speech, another lost opportunity for real leadership.”
