except in the real world what happens when you block grant federal funding is it gets reappropriated by states for other things, as was the case with mental health
did you even look at the text of part B

the idea that community treatment would be a panacea was naive at best. even the people who first advocated deinstitutionalization not three years into reagan's first term said it was a huge mistake:

http://www.nytimes.com/1984/10/30/science/how-release-of-mental-patients-began.html
yeah that article came up in my search too, note how none of the people interviewed singled out reagan as the guy who did it all, nor claimed to be talking about something that happened in the last three years

"reagan closed all the mental hospitals" is about as perfect an example of great-man history as you can ask for

again, the actual amount of money from the federal government dropped tremendously after the budget went into effect. because that's how block grants work- they free up the money for other stuff. hence why block granting medicaid is a hot issue among conservatives today

anyway, the 1982 budget allocated 491 million for the alcohol drug abuse and mental health services compared to around 700 million in carter's budgets

I loved the part where Reagan committed treason by breaking the law congress specifically passed forbidding any government agency from providing weapons to central american death squads, so he sold weapons to Iran and used the proceeds to arm them.

Yeah Senator John Glenn said at the time, "If he knew about it, then he has willfully broken the law; if he didn't know about it, then he is failing to do his job. After all, we expect the President to know about the foreign policy activities being run directly out of the White House."

I never knew Reagan had Presidential props, other than his graphs explaining Reaganomics to the common man, like the VETO pen and the BUDGET CUTTER saw...its comforting to know that his brains turned to applesauce, unfortunately it happened 10-15yr too late and we were stuck with a demented president in office for a while because people didn't know wtf alzheimers really was at the time. all you really had to do to become president then was look good on the tv and be able to believably read a script, which were essentially his main qualifications...even the modern GOP would have ran someone else instead of a reagan because the signs would be all too obvious under today's media scrutiny (or so I hope).

remember when H.W.

vomit is pretty bad but there are a lot of reasons why you might throw up. I throw up like 3 or 4 times a week due to my heavy alcohol abuse. there's only 1 reason why you'd poo poo yourself and that's because you have the brain of an infant.

good point. i think Bush was in decent shape at the time and was legit sick from too much tennis and norovirus...the thing most worth mocking is Bab's desperate response on trying to keep his vomitus inside his airway and not on the Prime Minister's suit jacket. throwing up from drinking 3-4 time a week is kinda hosed up btw, i abuse alcohol as well and in fact i am borderline drunk as i am typing out this post but i honestly couldn't tell you the last time ive thrown up from alcohol, maybe October last year? ur going to end up with ulcers and poo poo in your esophagus from all the booze and bile splashing back up routinely...check urself

Yeah that's true but I'm hoping it'll give my voice a manly, gravel tone and I can scare people with it (only in the dark because if they see me they'll laugh).

Ahhh haha!! Speaking of Nixon, in the book I got those quotes from, "The Clothes Have No Emperor", there's some good Nixon stuff. I don't have the book with me but in the mid 80's he went to a Burger King and left a note at his table saying something like "Best wishes to Burger King, home of the Whopper. Love, Richard Nixon".

Edit: I Googled it and that's the exact thing he wrote. Nixon didn't give a poo poo about being "Presidential" when he was out of office.
