That really means something to you. :lol

That effects your daily life in no way.
I think I have been quite clear how that stupid ass law affects me.

It's a monopoly because they have no competition and they lobby congress to keep competition to minimum by not allowing price negotiation and outlawing Canadian drugs, the same drugs usually.
:picard

Something tells me you don't really understand what a monopoly is or how it's created. A monopoly isn't created by "disallowing" price negotiation. A monopoly is created when some type of a barrier prevents competitors from entering the market. Which is the "regulation" I'm talking about. You mention one with regards to the Canadian drugs. That's an artificial barrier that government has created to prevent competition for the drug company. Another is by creating FDA regulations that are so stringent that a company with a safe product couldn't enter the market for at least 5 years to compete against another drug company. When you eliminate the possibility of competitors you create a monopoly. In the case of the drug industry that is done through regulation. Prices come down when a competitor is able to hit the market for obvious reason.

That is cool and all, but we will still spend that on a toilet seat for the next four years.

We would spend that regardless of what the President's salary was.

Exactly, which is why I am not impressed by the gesture.

I guess that really makes Joe Six Pack appreciate what he is doing, but it is grandstanding.

Nothing more.

For him to do the things he promises he will do, he has to somehow broker change.

And there is no damn way he is going to accomplish what he is promising in four years.

He already wipes his ass with $100 bills, so I really don't give a shit if he eschews the salary.

Sorry, doesn't impress me.

I know full well what a monopoly and never said disallowing price negotiation was the monopoly, I said that's why prices are so high.

They are 2 separate things.

Pizzagate is the fakest bunch of crap ever. How someone can endorse that as legitimate, but in the next breath cry out fake news to something else is pretty asinine.
Yep.

And then run to The Blaze and Brietbart for more of the same.:picard

Yeah, it's pretty obviously fake news. The new news seems to be to make shit up and as long as it is outlandish enough people will copy and quote it before anyone realizes it's fake.
How is it obviously fake news.

The quoted source said nothing other than he was misrepresented.

That is the oldest dodge in the book.

It's step 1 in the repeal and replacement of that god forsaken legislation. I will take my wins every step of the way. Get ready for a lot of towel waving in this thread over the next 4 years. You can either get used to them or not visit the thread anymore. Completely up to you.
