Son, if there is an open gate, a cow will naturally wander through it. If someone leaves a gate open, they want the cow to wander through it. So Dad, that means that if someone defunds the police, they want more crime. If they want high gasoline prices, they reduce the supply. If they want runaway inflation, they increase government deficit spending. Yes indeed son. People who claim they want to solve the problems are generally the ones who caused the problems, just like someone leaving a gate open.
