Regan let the “non-violent” mentally ill out into the general public, but Pawlenty’s removal of funding for their meds has turned these unfortunate people into ticking time bombs.

It’s just another example of the short sightedness of the Republican doctrine.

Now, we saved a little money on medications for the mentally ill, but picked up a huge burden on our legal system.

Thanks for all the dumb ideas, Tim.

In my old days as a business executive, I used to occasionally hear this from lazy people. It took me 2 minutes of questioning at most to prove there were dozens of things they SHOULD be doing but weren’t because they wanted to do the bare minimum. They didn’t want to innovate, to think about the future, to re-engineer. They wanted to shuffle paper and go home.

Pawlenty is a lazy opportunist.
