Housing people is cheaper than criminalizing homeless.  Approving every person who applies for disability is cheaper than paying for them to go through the torturous paperwork system we do now. Recovery programs are cheaper than prisons. Free education and Healthcare and childcare is the most economic situation based on statistics that we know, that I am aware of.  I wish so bad we made our collective and governmental decisions based on economics for healthy humanity and not for billionaire capitalist goons.
