bighairymike: If only democrats actually cared about eliminating criminals and treating mental illness.

Puhleeze.

Last September when the House passed legislation funding for schools to hire more mental health experts and grow their mental health services, especially schools in areas with high need, and to provide mental health protections to adults with private health insurance and children and staff in Head Start programs, every republican in the House voted "no" except for one. Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania cast the sole Republican "yes" vote.

205 House republicans voted against expanding mental healthcare.

220 House democrats voted in favor of expanding mental healthcare.

And "eliminating" criminals?

Huh?
