It absolutely has not been a priority when the Dems had control but they like to keep yelling about “Gun Control” which is not the problem at all.

I don't recall the Democrats in control of all 3 branches of government recently. Maybe 2. Presidency and Congress.
In that time frame (2020-2022) the House passed and the Senate concurred with HR7666, a bill on mental health, and the president signed it.

H.R.7666 - Restoring Hope for Mental Health and Well-Being Act of 2022
You can see the mental health issues it addresses here:

Would anyone on here like to argue some of this wasteful government spending in this report? Some of the items in the report that the government is spending tax payer money on is an absolute joke.

Seriously, shut up Paul.

The 3 branches mentioned are the House, Senate and the Presidency. You’re technically correct however you failed to make a point. Don’t worry, you’ll get your email from the DNC tomorrow.

Edit: Leftist controlled the Judicial Branch for my entire lifetime until recently. So yes, there have been multiple occasions where it controlled all three branches.

The Senate “Concurred”.
That means it hasn’t passed.
When did the President “sign it” pray tell.
And how many millions/billions were allocated to it?
Give us the full picture Paul! The link you posted only indicates it was “referred to Senate Committee” in June, 2022.

While we’re bickering, journalist Matt Taibbi received a visit from the IRS.

What country is this again?

Yes, concurring is gutless.

And let me again reiterate that the Democratic Party had control of the House, Senate & Presidency at this time frame.
Those are the 3 areas that control US Pursestrings, despite Paul’s once again feeble attempt to deflect.
But, deflection is their middle name.

I’m sure that was purely coincidental! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Of course, purely a coincidence.
