to recognize the badly needed funding to combat this malady. After what Regan did to the mental health profession, and the many patients left homeless and helpless .......I will always be suspicious.

Case in pt. - Veterans without adequate mental health care are committing suicide faster than terrorists are killing our soldiers. Still the GOP allows there services to go underfunded.

Case in pt. - finding funding to do research for mental health has just ... just beginning to get some dollars but for what?? Military applications?

ALSO where is the funding for policing or gaining security for our women and children against domestic violence and acts of other types of violence in this country?? Funding is heavily weighed for the military (as in contractors) and HomeLand Security (as in contractors).

apolitical, my butt.
