Indeed Reagan’s Children

Thanks for setting the record straight. Another Republican talking point falls to the facts. You hear a lot about how liberals and conservatives differ, but the primary difference is that liberal (and progressive) positions are supported by facts, and, more importantly, morals that are inclusive of their fellow humans. It would be preposterous for any liberal to seek to deny proper care for a fellow human being regardless of their condition. Even Rush Limbaugh deserves proper treatment for his many problems, both mental and physical.

With regard to the above comments here is my question: Now that Reagan is long gone, why haven't those that have replaced him been able to get these people the care they need?

As far as I can see, our government (Certainly on the state level) is more liberal than conservative.

bill, Here is part of the reason they haven't:

"Calif. Democrats Vote To Give Drug Dealers Food Stamps"

"California Assembly Democrats have passed a measure allowing convicted drug dealers to receive food stamps upon their release from prison.."

Just look up AB 1996 and see for yourself..We all lose a chunk of our paycheck for this "investment."

Oops, yet another talking point falling for facts.

That's the part where they tell us we're making "partnerships" or "sacrificing." You know....change.

@azuresees

Your examples show that the State government votes/passes these measures, but do you know who initiates these things?

It seems like a lot of "clutter" bills seem to block the visiting of any (maybe, more important) issue. That, and maybe there's some assumption that issues like mental health have "already been covered", so there's no push to revisit them.
