Oh god, at first glance it appears he’s so close to realizing that yes, with every cent of increased funding it gets, the DEA directly makes drug addiction both more prevalent and deadly by artificially driving unregulated black market demand for insanely potent, synthetic mu-opioid agonists. Some of the newer RC opioids aren’t even based on the structure of fentanyl anymore. When this happens, the drug grey market literally outpaces legislation until the DEA catches wind of things and schedules a defining member of the class.

Of course, this hypocritical piece of shit is actually talking about increased funding for aid directly to the homeless.
