There’s your answer. Let’s re-open all the asylums Reagan closed.

Reagan was president from 1981 to 1989.

The Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act of 1980, which authorized the Attorney General to “seek relief for persons confined in public institutions where conditions exist that deprive residents of their constitutional rights” (i.e., move institutionalized persons out, mostly onto the street, and close down the facilities, which was pursued by the states to save money) was signed into law by Jimmy Carter.
