Rethug Hypocrisy on Mental Health

Michael Tomasky nails it in his piece on Rethuglican hypocrisy on funding mental health in the wake of the Washington Navy Yard massacre last Monday:

"So now we’re being treated to the charming spectacle of Republicans, or a few of them anyway, purporting to care about mental-health treatment in the wake of the Washington Navy Yard shooting. How touching. This doesn’t mean, of course, that they care about mental health. They’re just coming up with something to say in the wake of the tragedy that sounds to the willfully credulous like action and that won’t offend the National Rifle Association. Meanwhile, they have devastated mental-health funding since you-know-who became president. And more important than that, they voted against, and are now preparing to vote en bloc to defund or delay, the law that will do more to address mental health and give society at least a chance that future Aaron Alexises will get treatment that could prevent them going on shooting sprees since ... well, pretty much since ever."

They're also not above wrecking the economy over a Government shutdown and debt ceiling crisis, then blaming Obama and the Dems for a bad economy.  We can't afford to give them the keys to Government again.
