Thank you also for your nine years of service in the Army Rangers and Army Special Forces. That’s probably the only kind of work that could make prosecuting criminals seem boring by comparison.

As a former U.S. Attorney myself, I know how important our U.S. Attorneys and our AUSAs are to the overall efforts of the Department of Justice and to keeping our communities safe.

That work is more important than ever—because today we are facing the deadliest drug crisis in American history. LAST YEAR 70,000 AMERICANS LOST THEIR LIVES TO DRUG OVERDOSES. That is the highest drug death toll in American history—by far.

It’s the equivalent of the population of Jackson, Tennessee, dead in just one year from drug overdoses. More Americans died of drug overdoses last year than from car crashes. ***Holy crap***

Despite rising prosperity and better technology, life expectancy in the United States actually declined over the last three years—and largely because of this epidemic.

The last time life expectancy in this country declined for three years in a row was a century ago. This is simply unacceptable.

And overdose deaths don’t tell the whole story. Millions of people are living with the painful consequences of a family member’s addiction or an addiction of their own. I personally know people whose families have been impacted by drug addiction. We all do. ***

Figure 5-to-1 impact of each death. The family is never the same.

Replying to @ScottAdamsSays
If you haven't had a chance, that speech is powerful and I added supporting press releases throughout. Worth a read, IMO.
