But I liked that column that you linked and I learned something.<br /><br />The new plan coming out of the Administration as newly described is so much better than the bland idiocies he was saying about prescription drug prices on the campaign. I adore the new FDA Director Dr. Scott Gottlieb and I'm glad he is in the administration. I probably should have known that Dr. Gottlieb wouldn't screw up prescription drugs.<br /><br />I'm indebted to you, for the link.<br /> Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07676108366725199186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-56486840734426762792018-05-15T21:31:34.328-05:002018-05-15T21:31:34.328-05:00John Henry said...

You are talking about the executive orders that were slightly more carefully drafted by competent lawyers and yes, as I already pointed out it looked nothing (and thereafter less and less) like what Trump originally stated. Competent Republican lawyers can sometimes bail Trump out; sometimes not. It was that original statement by Trump that caused people like me to exclaim that it was a stupid statement, and no such order could ever be maintained in a federal court challenge. We were right. Trump couldn't even attempt such an order. It was finally watered down, to an order that was nothing like a "complete and total shutdown of Muslims entering the United States."Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07676108366725199186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-43644755799577508622018-05-15T21:29:05.859-05:002018-05-15T21:29:05.859-05:00John Henry,

(More or less) <br /><br />It currently costs $2,000,000,000 to develop a new drug and bring it to market. A lot of them fail to make back the cost and lose money. <br /><br />Want to cut drug costs in the US? Cut back on the proof of effectiveness. <br /><br />There are pros and cons to doing that and I have mixed feelings. But, like it or not, as long as the laws are the way they are, that $2bn has to be spent. It also has to be recovered. That means high prices. <br /><br />John Henry<br /><br />John Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05059334464714085746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-20970331779464180962018-05-15T21:11:39.751-05:002018-05-15T21:11:39.751-05:00Blogger Chuck said...

With Justice and anonymous intelligence-community leakers having provided conflicting explanations, the latest controversy involves the role played by a CIA and FBI informant, based in Britain, who appears to have been deployed against marginal Trump-campaign figures (such as George Papadopoulos).

They think that won't be Trump. But in the most lefty states are millions of discouraged voters. For instance I was precinct captain in a liberal Milwaukee suburb and found out that about 40% of the voters were Republican but in elections the Dems won 75% to 25%. So 15% weren't voting there. So imagine if those 15% voted and that this was true nationwide. Imagine all the voters in California who are discouraged because they can't win state-wide. But - now they don't have to win state-wide. They can be encouraged voters because they only have to vote in such numbers that - added to encouraged voters in New York and Illinois - Trump wins the popular vote nationwide. Then even if the Dems carry California numerically its electoral votes will go to Trump - same with Illinois, New York and other deep blues.<br /><br />And so Trump can carry California and all of the states in 2020. And as the news people run screaming into the night, Team Trump plays the song:<br />You can't always get what you want<br />You can't always get what you want<br />You can't always get what you want<br />But if you try sometimes<br />Well, you might find<br />You get what you need <br />wildswanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975129877750876072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-8252517379936824982018-05-15T19:27:30.985-05:002018-05-15T19:27:30.985-05:00Anyway, I hope you can enjoy your evening Drago.
