17 - Reaganomics, Mental Illness, and Homelessness


Listen Later

In this episode the gang's all here and we cover the stigmatization of the homeless over time as well as the uptick in homelessness as a result of significant cuts to mental health spending under Reagan. Those in most need of treatment are much more likely to end up in jail rather than a psychiatric facility. We discuss possible fixes for these issues going forward.
