OK. What's the problem with this bill that just passed?
Edited on Fri Jun-24-05 04:21 PM by genius
140 of the good guys (including the six with perfect voting records) voted against the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006. It would be nice to find out what's wrong with it now rather than a year from now when the media figures it out.

1. I was looking at amendments to the bill and Ron Paul's failed
It was an amendment against mental health screening.

Was this one of the bills calling for psychological screening of children?

WASHINGTON - Funding for job training, rural health care, low-income schools and help for people lacking health insurance would face big cuts under a bill passed Friday by the House.
