Last time I checked there the war on drugs was lost and criminal activities are doing pretty good in the US. But I agree nonetheless that this kind of activity is certainly at the very bottom of their preoccupation. It even surprises me because elderly are good voters so it should be politically beneficial to solve their problem, especially when it's something as simple and non-partisan as this. It seems so easy to just say "We protect our elderly and jail the awful criminals to abuse them" and just do it and win some nice popular vote for a super small cost, seems weird that it does not happen.
