Pelosi on Trump’s Commitment to the Opioid Crisis: ‘Show Me the Money’

EXCERPT:

PELOSI: "Declaring an emergency means he can have access to some funds but the funds in that account are like $57,000, $58,000. So show me the money. Okay. We all agree, we pass 21st Century Cures Act last year. We all agree that this is a place we had to go. I had the speaker write me a letter that we would continue to have the funding in the Appropriations Bill, but the president’s statements are words without the money. And so we’d like to see.

It’s not like you can say, well, it’s people in a certain area where it’s warmer or colder or whatever it is. It’s all over the country. So hopefully, the concerns of our colleagues will be manifested in the allocation of the resources because you do -- you have to have the resources.”
