The big panic now is that "Trump" cut a whole $1 billion (some say $2 billion) in "mental health" funding for k-12 schools. Here's npr going mental over it.

Unimaginable: how much it would cost today to reopen the nuthouses of the past. I'm thinking of the ones with "State School" in the name, given the greed of the mental health industry and the public employee unions representing the attendants and service workers. And the patronage hiring processes and federal involvement.

As I asked,what costs more:Housing mentally ill in semi-permanent mental health facilities,in giveaway apartments(paid by taxpayers/government) or in prison. What's effective is the second question. In high school,I never heard of a mass shooting every day of the week--once a year--if then. Is it just crazy mex and blacks?

Sorry, folks. Just stuff your head in a public broadcasting supporter Tote Bag and hyperventilate until whenever.
