Obama Depression: Spike In Suicide Calls Due To Economy

If George W. Bush were still president, he'd be blamed for this. It's the Obama-Reid-Pelosi economy, they own it, so I blame them.

Economic woes are weighing heavily on some Americans _ so much so that the federal government is boosting financial support for suicide prevention centers around the nation.

Richard McKeon, the lead health adviser for suicide prevention at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, says calls to suicide crisis centers have increased sharply in the past year _ with more than 57,000 calls in July alone. He said about a quarter of the calls were linked to economic distress.

McKeon said SAMHSA plans to provide more than $1 million in additional money this year to help up to 20 crisis centers facing a big uptick in the number of calls for help as well as possible state and local budget cuts.

So the Democrats cause a problem and now will need more money because of it.
