    Were you this upset about what Saddam did to his people or are you just bitching because you don't like GWB?

    So you know where I stand, I don't care for GWB either. He is spending money like a drunken sailor and he doesn't care about securing the USA from terror attacks. If he cared, you would not be able to carry man portable surface to air missles undected across our border.

    Damn it. It pisses me off that people on your side of this debate appear to equal to do nothing more than name calling when the issue of the PA doing ANYTHING wrong is brought up.

    If you really cared you would be pushing/calling for the ouster/trial of Arafat for stealing so much money from a people that desperatly need the money. But since it is easier to dismiss negative info against the PA as zionism, well, let us just say that you and your acid trip inspired world view can just go to hell.

    Bush isn't cutting spending. He is growing the goverment at a rate that is unmatched in the past 40 years. And most of the growth in spending isn't from the War on Terror, it is from domestic spending. Spending that the GOP doesn't have to do.

    "I'm unfamiliar with this bill. If you give me a bill number, I'd be glad to research it and write a JE."

    You might have missed it but it was called the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003. It also makes it illegal for people to buy and companies to sell insurace to cover the gap in coverage that exists because the prescription coverage stops at 2250 USD and doesn't begin again till 3600 USD.

    That sure sounds like a freemarket to me.
    "
    Under the prescription drug benefit, participants would pay a monthly premium projected to average $35 per month, and a $250 annual deductible on prescriptions.

    After surpassing the deductible, participants pay a 25 percent co-pay on prescriptions until total costs reach $2,250, which, if reached, equals another $500 out-of pocket in addition to the original deductible.

    Prescription drug coverage ceases there, until a recipient's out-of-pocket expenses reached $3,600, or roughly $5,100 in overall prescription expenses. Under "catastrophic" coverage after $3,600, nearly all drug costs are paid by Medicare

    As show in the Sunpoint Securities (SNPC) case, the largest brokerage failure in history (at least till June 2000) they don't really DO anything. They still haven't brought the person responsible for this to justice.

    From http://www.sipc.org/release4.html

    A record payment of $31 million from a special reserve fund authorized by Congress to help investors at bankrupt brokerage firms is being used to restore stocks and cash that 9,738 investors lost due to theft at Sunpoint Securities, a Longview, Texas-based firm, officials at the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) announced today.

    "This case, which is the most expensive in our history, illustrates in vivid terms why it is that SIPC is the investor's first line of defense in the event of brokerage bankruptcy," said SIPC President Michael Don. "The cost of $31 million to SIPC reserves meant that nearly 10,000 individuals had their accounts restored nearly immediately without regard to whether the authorities will ever recover the stolen funds."

    Since I got that from a study the PA did on it's own finances does that mean the PA is a supporter of Zionism?

    Since you appear to be a conservative, how can you support the big goverment programs that GWB loves? What about his high levels of goverment spending. (55% of which isn't related to the War on Terror)

    How about the GWB Drug Bill that PROHIBITS the goverment from bargining for cheaper drug prices?

    And shoudn't the rest of the world pay for the R&D (R&D that is about HALF of AD SPENDING) that goes into these drugs? Afterall the pharmcos do not pay back the taxpayer when they use taxpayer paid for reasearch.

  17. Drug Companies, Cures or Treatments. on Pharmacists Convince Search Engines To Self-Censor · · Score: 1

    And yet the drug companies don't payback the tax payers who underwrite a considerable portion of the research that they use.

    Plue, the drug companies spend 50-100% more each year for ads than R&D.

    Lastly, the VA, US Military, and a few other branches of the goverment ARE ALLOWED to purchase drugs from Canada. But we, the people the goverment is susposed to represent, can not.

    That is wrong.

    And I do have to wonder why the drug companies don't CURE things much anymore, they just TREAT them for the rest of your life.
