We, as a nation, can't agree that PHYSICAL healthcare is a right, much less MENTAL healthcare. If Rethugs were truly fiscally-conservative they'd see that one wrongful death lawsuit against the city from a falling body would cost them far more than fencing. 
We spend 53% of every tax dollar on our military -- one that can't even protect us against 19 guys with box cutters. The Pentagram, er, 'gon can't even account for $5 TRILLION. W's (& Oblahma's) senseless wars on Afghanistan & Iraq (& Libya & Syria) have cost ~$7 TRILLION to avenge the deaths of ~3,000 on 9/11, but we are still fighting over whether to provide basic health insurance that could save over 45,000 lives a year, thanks to Rethuglican cruelty. The cost of NOT fencing is too high. 
We can't have both empire for corporate profit abroad and a healthy society at home. Perhaps if we could just agree that at least our leaders need mental health care....
