That’s exactly how I feel about American conservatives’ approach to crime. Getting money for things like education or social programs is like pulling teeth, but when it comes to putting people in jail the sky is the limit.
Whether it’s housing, feeding, guarding and providing medical care to the biggest prison population on the planet or paying out the wazoo to hang onto capital punishment or paying huge settlements for police brutality cases, no amount is too much as long as it goes toward the cause of keeping them criminals down.
