If the government didn't screw everything up, I might be more apt to agree with using some federal funds for the mental health. At the level it's at now, state run, it's screwed up.
Another factor in ignoring mental health is the constant need by those on the left to act as though individuals with mental health issues are normal behavior. Celebrating men turn ing into women, forcing little boys to act like girls, etc.. Let's start with this issue and work our way up.
