Pharma Deal With White House On Course To Net Industry Billions
Commented Nov 11, 2009 at 13:03:10 in Politics
“This dealing between the executive and legislative branch with PhRMA is already bypassing the standard role for the checks and balances. Why? For Mucho Dinero. Who needs the Constitution when theres $300 billion changing hands? And presto: All of a sudden everyone will have coverage! I dont buy it.
Another point is that the people who are debating and making these deals are already well off and have their insurance coverage for them and their families. Complete conflict of interest.”

“Yes, I'm sure Lennon is rolling in his grave because his band is still huge 40 years after they broke up. There are a lot of examples of our brain dead consumer culture. This is not one of them.”

Poll: Political Corruption Caused Crisis

“what is "legal" may be ethically or logically wrong,
but perfectly normal in a capitalistic system that promotes raping capitalism.
For example, growing chickens in the US, sending to China to be cut, then sent back to be sold.
All because the small percentage extra that the corporation will make.
The margin of cost between Transportation (including petroleum) and the difference in labor costs, makes this a "perfectly legitimate" way of doing business.
Ethically, or logically ..... Maybe not
there is no regulation or deregulation, bailouts or stimulii that will ever cure it, because our generation and future generations are programed and evolved to get the most bang for our buck without regard to fundemental ethics, reason or logic.
It is not greed, it is survival of the fitest”
