Most Democrats hate America. If they deny it, ask them what they like about it. You'll have to wait a bit.

July 5 (UPI) — President Donald Trump on Friday said his administration intends to announce a plan to decrease prescription drug costs based on the lowest price other countries pay.
He called it a “favored-nations clause.”

Sounds very much like socialism to me.

Isn't this the sort of thing that free enterprise and the markets should be determining?

Why no retort Lone Star...your Free(Greed Unchecked ) Market is being attacked by Trump....you are such a HYPOCRITE!!!!

This kind of hyper-tribalism is harmful to civil society.

So I'm a hypocrite because I am reasoned and measured and don't react like a stark-raving mad lunatic like you and the other Cry Babies. My hair is not immediately engulfed in flame and head exploding before ALL THE DETAILS are revealed -- like you. Supposedly more details to come, genius.

I'm not only living rent free in that pea brain of yours, but I'm in a full scale resort with dancing girls and margaritas flowing through the tap.


Back in May 2018 -- over a year ago -- Trump unveiled a prescription drug plan. I don't know if this latest announcement has anything to do with it. That plan sought to increase competition, improve negotiation and create incentives to lower list prices of prescription drugs and out-of-pocket costs for consumers. It included rebate-sharing in Medicare plans, promoting generic drugs over brand names and requiring manufacturers to post list prices in their advertising. None of that appeared on the surface to include subsidies -- or socialism. Again, no details.

Whenever I see the DETAILS, I'll have a better idea what's going on. That's good advice for everyone.

In the meantime, try to get that obsession and emotion checked. Maybe you and vladdie and that other dude can get a package deal with a local psychiatrist.

I didn't think it was possible to be so totally lacking in self-awareness.

Is there a syndrome/effect for that?

Busy on the Cut n Paste on this thread there LS.

5 Signs You Lack Self-Awareness
Being constantly defensive.
Must micromanage.
Make excuses.
You’ve been called a bully more than once.
You’re in denial.

SO, you have a problem with someone trying to find out why US drugs are the most expensive in the world?

Even those of us with Dunning-Kruger know the answer to that - what took the Bloated Orange Socialist so long?

The drug industry is obviously out of control.

Obviously - but isn't that how free enterprise and capitalism are supposed to work?

So you are saying that there is an easy solution? Pray tell how to fix the problem without interfering with normal free trade.

Cry Babies of Siam aren't here to solve anything or learn anything. They're here to play 'gotcha', and they're damn bad at it.


If you notice, they never say what they are FOR. Only criticize.

That's right. They're not FOR anything -- only against certain things. Wanna guess what they are? And most consider them ... friends?

Pffft.

President Tariff isn't a fan of free trade.

Many people around the world realize how they've been "getting over" America. And America was a willing participant. Massive trade imbalances with Japan and China, in particular, have persisted for years.

FINALLY, we have a businessman at the heln instead of a swishing, kowtowing idiot, and the world is beginning to take notice.

Get off our coattails you dumbass slackers. Make your own way -- and yes I'm talking to YOU --GB, AUS and NZ. Stop sponging off the US, slackers!

HOAX Alarmism.

True, but the fact that some people exaggerate doesn't mean that climate change isn't a problem. As I've said before, we need credible, reliable, scientifically sound data.

The trade war is over — and the winner is China
This deal — the second time President Trump gave in to China’s demands and ended restrictions on a major Chinese technology company that had been accused of threatening U.S. national interests — effectively marks the end of Trump’s trade war with China.

Why? Because it shows the president won’t go to the wall to fundamentally change the U.S.’s trade relationship with the world’s second-biggest economy. The Chinese president has clearly calculated his American counterpart is unwilling to do anything that would threaten his support among key constituencies, like farmers, as the 2020 election looms. (President Trump also has backed down big time from his bellicose (demonstrating aggression and willingness to fight) talk on North Korea and now appears ready to tacitly accept Pyongyang as a nuclear power.)

You nailed it.

Those who choose to be blind forget who started the trade imbalance and how US presidents had Americans bend over and take the screwing.

Trump has merely said, 'Hey, you going to keep screwing us over? We're going to have to balance this out with some tariffs and restrictions on trade for ourselves.' Trump is looking out for America with the goal being free and fair trade with no tariffs and no restrictions. He's said it in every instance. Until the other side agrees, Trump will continue to protect US interests.

Like I've said many times, "Give LIBs and Democrats and Cry Babies a dose of their own medicine, and they swear you've poisoned them."

Poor old Giggly and LS - had their respective feet in each others mouths all day, and then back some. Nailed each other, more like it.

Winning an argument that no one is making.

China, the EU, and Japan are the remaining issues with the US Trade Reps. Canada, Mexico and South Korea have been resolved.

Who the hell ever mentioned a word about Australia when it comes to trade? Australia hasn't been a trade topic anywhere except with you. If the Aussies have a trade deficit with the US, then shame on them. I guess the Aussie government is allowing the US to screw over Aussie citizens.
