“Do you know what it’s like for somebody to live with depression?”
What does that have to do with expanding the size, scope and cost of government?
Not a thing. There are drugs that work on that. And most Primary’s are capable of prescribing them. PSTD is a more important issue in my book, it effects our deployed or been deployed Military at a very high rate, and it it’s violent crime victims too.
Why are we not expanding PRISONS instead to remove violent criminals off the streets or executed? 3 violent crimes and you go to Death Row you are not redeemable. Full sentences served, no parole, no good behavior 30% and out.
Because he wants to impart that feeling, desperation and helplessness over to every other taxpayer, regardless of the impact and cost. Crazy is crazy. Spreading its effects over the masses does NOTHING to solve the crazy in the first place. Nor does it lessen the emotion impact on the crazies’ family.
When I was a young professional in Japan, I could have really used a program which paid for my kid's tuition to international schools in Japan because my job just didn't pay enough to afford it.
As a result, I had to send my daughters to public schools in Japan. The result was that they had some real adaptation problems when we moved back to the United State.
My youngest, in particular, couldn't even speak English very well.
Fast forward 14 years later, and she is a professional living in an elite neighborhood in Tokyo which I couldn't even have dreamed of affording when we were there. And she did it all without some special government program.
I’ve been depressed since the first time I met a liberal.
