5. anti-drug programs that work by decreasing the demand for drugs.
6. Start by funding a wide variety of different programs, and insist that every program track results. One of the frustrating aspects currently, is that a lot of money is spent on programs, year after year, and nobody has any idea which programs work, because follow-up and results-tracking are not done.
7. Steadily prune the programs that don't work, and expand the programs that do. A Darwinian competition among programs.


You realize that there hasn't been a program in the history of the govt of the United States that does this right? The feedback loops and constant evolution toward successful solutions is a feature of the market, not govt.

Once a govt social program is created, no matter how noble the intentions or how well-thought out the plan, the primary mission becomes self-perpetuation.
