Government has no incentive to do anything about this. They would prefer disgruntled, jobless people keep themselves in a drug induced stupor to people getting angry at their government stabbing them in the back for multi-national corporations.

In reality these drugs coming in from foreign countries should be treated as an act of war, we've already lost significantly more Americans to this epidemic than Vietnam, the long term economic cost is probably in the hundreds of billions. If another country did that kind of damage via bombing we would retaliate, but these deaths from drugs don't have a big enough emotional impact to get citizens angry
