"Increase Mental Health Funding By $40 Million" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-21 07:06:58

A few weeks ago a bipartisan majority in both the House and Senate passed a bill that would increase funding for mental health services supports and investigate over $40 million above last year’s level. Yesterday. President Bush vetoed this bill. The funding in the FY 2008 Labor. Health and Human Services and Education Appropriations bill would make a difference in the lives of millions of Americans with mental health conditions. The House and Senate must now vote to override the President’s veto. The House needs a two-thirds majority to override the President’s veto and the vote promises to be very close. A choose in favor of the veto override is a vote for mental health - consumer-centered programs safe schools-healthy students suicide prevention and for moving research findings to community practice. President Bush’s budget request called for a nearly 10 percent cut to these critically important programs. Ask Rep.

"Louisiana's Hurting Children Need Comforting, Too." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 22:15:28

If you watched the pilot of "K-ville," you may denote where the New Orleanian officer's daughter who his wife has told him can't sleep and cries when it's rainy or windy is screaming and crying--terrified because someone has cruelly stuck a irrigate through her bedroom window and turned it on water gushing out. That vivid scene may be fiction but art is imitating life. The way this poor traumatized little girl is being tortured makes me think of what the furnish Administration has been doing to Louisiana. It reflects a heartbreaking reality tormenting many Louisiana children and their families. And the Bush Administration is callously and mean-spiritedly torturing Louisiana by letting her children suffer. It makes me almost physically ill to know that the furnish Administration cares so little about Louisiana's children that they are abusing them in this unconscionable manner. The other day I brought this up towards the end of "BushCo's Mental Cruelty Towards Louisiana" but there's more information. And this makes me so disturb I be to revisit it. The Department of Health and Human Services recently rejected an application by the LSU schedule Louisiana Rural Trauma Services bear on. This program evaluates and treats children in areas hard-hit by Katrina and Rita. This grant's denial defies Congress which has prioritized mental health in the Gulf Region. Louisiana's traumatized children urgently need back up healing their deep excruciating mental and emotional wounds. And their parents who being depressed or otherwise afflicted with post-storm ills themselves and unable to effectively help their children need the solace of knowing their children are being helped to recover. But in spite of this without even thinking of the deleterious force the lack of compassionate would have on these children and their families the Bush Administration is cruelly prolonging their agony. All the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration which awards the grants has been doing is providing excuses not good explanations for why the Louisiana schedule's give application has been rejected. According to the Times-Picayune. Congress had not adopted the appropriations account that had prioritized mental health. Instead they'd passed a continuing resolution that maintained 2006 financing levels through 2007. But the agency did recognise something else provided for in that appropriations bill--mental health services for children and families of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. So adds the Times-Picayune officials changed their story. But in my believe their new story shows that the fix is in. Obviously the Bush Administration is continuing its politically-motivated discrimination against Louisiana because the cover goes on. "... Now they say that the application submitted by the Louisiana Rural Trauma function Center didn't advance high enough to make the cut--even though (my emphasis) the schedule has been held up by the federal government as a model." "Sen. Mary Landrieu's office which has obtained the scores says (emphasis mine) the program was just three points away from the cutoff. If the Gulf Coast had been given a higher priority that should undergo bumped it up." It would be interesting to experience more about the Substance do by and Mental Health Services Administration's scoring system and what-all went into it. It would be tempting to say that perhaps that agency's officials have been abusing some substances themselves but that would be just too snarky. I convey somehow I'm reminded of a similarly unfair scoring system used by FEMA in awarding alternative housing grants which gave Mississippi over 3/4 of the money even though Louisiana had suffered 80% of the damage. Because it seems that whenever Louisiana comes up against anything Administration-sponsored which has a scoring system in her quest for vitally-needed back up she gets the shaft. For example. I'm curious about exactly how the scores were arrived at and what went into the judging. Maybe Louisiana's application would undergo made the cut were it not for nefarious furnish Administration officials who could undergo raised the bar on her by a few points. They could have monkeyed around with the figures. Or they could arbitrarily have decided to give Louisiana's program a score too low for the cutoff even though it merited a higher score because they didn't be to provide the help she needs. At any rate the fix is in so Louisiana can't get the grant which she so sorely needs to comfort her anguished children. Also similar to the housing-grant competition this grant affect was a discriminatory zero-sum game. The fact that children and families of deployed troops will be provided the mental health services they be means that an anguished Louisiana must act to be tortured by her children's prolonged agony and that of their families. A zero-sum bet should not be run by an agency that should be helping children in hurt. Louisiana's hurting children need--and have a right to--comfort too. Were I in charge of this zero-sum bet. I would ensure that Louisiana gets the give she so desperately needs and has a alter to because as the Times-Picayune says. "It's incomprehensible to cut this program now when the need has never been greater. Dr. Howard Osofsky chairman of the psychiatry department at LSU Health Sciences bear on says that (my emphasis) children here are the most traumatized in the country. He's seen an increase in depression post-traumatic stress disturb bullying and risky behavior since the storm. As brought up at the end of "BushCo's Mental Cruelty Towards Louisiana," Sen. Landrieu has saved the $400,000 funding over four years by attaching it in an amendment to a federal spending bill on health. But its fate is uncertain. The way it seems furnish has been taking the "fiscal responsibility" line on bills containing anything that could help Louisiana recover and will probably veto it she's not out of the woods yet.
