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.

This defies LOGIC.
We are definitely slipping in an out of an alternative universe during this election cycle!
If she says she’ll start with BLM, then I’m in.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Note that the Founding States had made the 10th Amendment to clarify that the Constitution’s silence about issues like mental illness means that government power to address such issues are automatically and uniquely reserved to the states until the states should decide to appropriately amend the Constitution.
So Hillary’s plan to address the needs of the mentally ill is just another example of Hillary wrongly trying to win votes by “promising” a federal spending program based on state powers and state revenues that Hillary is evidently planning to steal from the states with the help of corrupt Congress.
Remember in November !
Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also put a stop to unconstitutonal federal taxes and likewise unconstitutional inteference in state affairs.
Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
Diane Sawyer : “Are you crazy?”
Charles Manson: “Back in my day, crazy meant something. Today? EVERYBODY is crazy!!”.
She proposes “audits” - witchhunts.
She’s going to go into nasty mode again.
I thought the Democrats passed a mental health care parity act.
Maybe she has dementia.
A special fluorescent antibody test is also indicated.
Does she mean HER mental illness, or Democrats in general??
Yep, this is very troubling. Remember, in the Soviet Union, any dissent was interpreted to be mental illness.
“need our support”
My income was about $2,300 for 2015.
Obama’s Federal Reserve people are impoverishing me.
Best thing anyone can do for the mentally ill is to change HIPAA.
The first line of defense/help for the mentally ill is their families. Which is kind of a tough nut when doctors and therapists are prohibited by law from communicating with them.
Unless the patient signs a release. Which they won’t. Because......here’s a news flash.....THEY’RE CRAZY!!!!
They spend an hour or two a week with their therapist. The other 166 they spend with their families. The fist line of defense against Sandy Hooks.
Being a BigGovDem I am certain Hillary’s plan does not address that.
Here we go.
She is all in for importing millions of mental retards to destroy America.
Great idea Hillary, start with the following: (is this woman for real)
The link between metal illness and sexual abuse, including rape
Pedophilia
Sexual addiction
Per the headline; is she going to be talking to herself?
“Be warned, America. Be very warned.”
Yes. Gun grab tool all the way.
“Folks, a lot of you are crazy. But try to keep up, we’re a bit crazier.”
“Leftist dismantled the mental health system in the 70’s and there is no safety net for the chronically mentally ill.”
Yes, they did......leaving many with mental illness homeless and out on the streets when before there were institutions for the mentally ill which were compassionate and caring.
Given that track record, don’t think this “new” initiative will do anything but make things worse.
1 in 7 Americans have mental illness? Who da thunk? I mean... Oh shoot - I gotta go. The people that live in the fridge want me to flush the bugs in the toilet bowl again. I keep telling them that’s not working...
What EVER could be abused about that, probably WILL be, by Democrats as we know them today.
All US citizens will be declared at some degree of mental illness thus no gun ownership for anyone.
If a finding of incompetence can be made, is this still a problem?
