We build and maintain roads using taxes because it's expensive, has a large benefit to society, and is hard to pay for without destroying those benefits. We should do the same with drugs- all research, production, and distribution done by government. Doing so will eliminate the high risk to corporations (failed drugs=lost money), and ensure our healthcare dollars are only spent on costs not private helicopters.
You are suggesting drug prices in the US are related in any way to drug prices in other countries. The drug companies set their prices to maximize revenue, they make a profit in every country or they abandon that country.
If the Republicans care about stopping the Democrats spying on honest Americans, then they should take this opportunity to end the practice. If they don't then it means they are part of the problem.
Having US customs on foreign soil gives you another avenue of legal appeal against customs overreach. You violated Canadian law when you demanded my Uporn password!
Trump is a Businessman, he does what he is paid to do. Rich multi-national outsourcing companies clearly pay well to keep replacing American workers with third world minimum wage workers.
Being your own VPN means all your traffic is coming from an IP address linked to you. It means your ISP can see all your traffic. Using someone else for VPN means your traffic is mixed in with other people, hiding the origin.
Simple question: If they stop paying out the money from the phone tax, will they stop collecting the tax? I suspect not, and I also expect the phone companies will get to keep that money.
Poor people (1/3 of the American voters) depend on government healthcare to live, they would vote for socialized healthcare if they could. The reason they can't is because the rich 1% are strongly against paying for it, and use their influence to prevent it.
There are 2 ways to make this stop: 1-Convince your elected rep that spying is costing him/her votes. 2-Deliberately inject garbage into the spying, so those that benefit from it stop benefiting, and therefore stop paying for it.
What you are seeing is loyalty to lobbyists instead of loyalty to party or country. If Americans want to control their destiny they must get the money out of federal politics. The other direction is a milk cow getting run through rollers to extract the last drop.
History shows that letting private enterprise run healthcare without government interference results in a second rate highly expensive system, (Ex. USA or Somalia).
I disagree. American workers being replaced by third world guest workers is big, provided you plan on fixing it. If you don't plan on fixing it then best to keep quiet.
The Republicans control all 3 houses of the US government. If he can't pass a law to remove the most (Republican) hated law in existence, then he can't do anything. This is like trying to ban abortions in the bible belt and failing (another Republican failure).
Obama should have given a presidential order to let the kidnap victims in Guantanamo bay go free. If you can't manage to get a closed door military court that allows secret evidence at trial manage to convict them in 8 years it means you have no case.

You mean like having people pay for the police and military through taxes instead of user fees? Yes that is socialism.
If they were investigating a crime they would have gotten a warrant. Their goal is persecution, to make the (legal) criticism stop.
As a shepard must watch over his flock, so must corporations that wish to profit from their "Users".

We don't want temporary guest workers, we want immigration. Bring them here permanently and make us stronger.

So long as QOS guarantees emergency services get priority, fine.

If your goal is to control all people you need to control all speech. Having bad men do bad things makes a handy excuse to implement those controls.

I predict Trump's next move will be to repeal Obama-care without replacing it, then a mad scramble to pass a replacement (that will fail).

Coming up with something would require planning, negotiation, and "horse trading" skills. Trump is not known for any of these skills.
Or prioritize them by salary instead of a lottery. Or make them bid on the available billets, highest wins.

Half of the American voters disagrees with you. Strongly. (half disagree with the first 2/3, the other with the last 1/3).

Given his business track record (75% complete failure) we have to assume he's used to failing to meet his objectives.
