Venezuela's crazy socialist regime is especially hard on the mentally ill

Washington Post:
Years of failed socialist policies, economic mismanagement and corruption have exacted a heavy toll across Venezuelan society. For the mentally ill, the lack of medicine, treatment and safe facilities has had devastating effects.
But California's "remedy" is just as crazy.  There the mentally ill live and poop on the streets rather than being institutionalized.  Both systems are cruel and unusual.  I blame Hollywood for California's mess.  They demonized mental health facilities and that had the effect of pushing these people out on the streets.  In Venezuela, it is socialism that causes the problem for both the sane and the insane.
