BROOKLYN, N.Y., Aug. 29 (UPI) — Hillary Clinton on Monday released a six-part plan to address nearly 50 million Americans afflicted with mental health problems. “Americans with mental health conditions and their families need our support,” she said in her proposal that runs more than 5,000 words. “The economic impact of mental illness is enormous – at nearly $200 billion per year nationwide in lost earnings] —and the human cost is worse.

Gotta be pretty desperate if she is courting the crazy vote. Methinks her internal polls are not looking good.

Maybe she thinks, “ everyone’s crazy but me”.

Soviets were big on “mental health” too, as long as they got to define that belief in G-d, or in freedom, was a sign of mental illness.

And that, my friend, is why Hillary's interested in this subject.

Only that.

The “crazy-sympathizer” vote is probably bigger than the “crazy” vote.

Apparently she came up with this idea after channeling Eleanor Roosevelt.

As a well paid pay for play I$lamophile, she is consistent in her advocacy given the recent ubiquitous attempts to characterize jihad as pre-existing mental health related issues.

It would be pretty foolish not to heed the historical warning about where this can go.

If she wants to unveil mental illness she only needs to publish lists of dem voters, and for bonus, the real ill ones that support her.

She has a habit of answering questions no one has asked


She hears the voices, but there’s not anyone actually there.

That means she will have to get treatment for all the people who vote for her. Maybe it will be a small number by November, but I doubt it. The “progressive” disease takes years to overcome with counseling by conservative people.

No she is addressing the concerns of everyone who has mentall illness in the family.

Severe mental illness is horrific for families and the ill person.

Leftist dismantled the mental health system in the 70’s and there is no safety net for the chronically mentally ill.

Best thing we could possibly do is have the state take care of the mentally ill with significant oversight, in locked isolated environments where they are not preyed upon by criminals, and are safe, fed and medicated. Of course that would end the mental illness industrial gravy train that has mental health workers in communities with guaranteed paychecks. Dealing with mental illness has become a growth sector and replacement for factory work in many communities.
