Big pharma is surgically embedded in Washington DC politics. Extracting it and the financial roots it's wrapped around politicians is, IMHO, one of the primary "active" players in America's debt fiasco.

Sen. Harry Reid key player in Big Pharma's control over Washington
Last summer, Billy Tauzin, then President of the Pharmaceutical Researchers and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), visited the White House to work out a deal on the health care bill. Mind you, PhRMA is the largest single-industry lobbying group in the nation. According to reports, he negotiated with government officials to make sure all existing drug industry favors would remain intact in any proposed health care legislation.
But this wasn't all. Tauzin was able to convince Democrat politicians -- many of the same ones who promised during the Obama campaign to rid Washington of special interest control -- to add to the bill additional drug industry perks including subsidies, mandates, and a complete monopoly on complex drugs that will last 12 years. So much for transparency and reform, huh?
It’s astounding what they can get away with, isn’t it?
Of course the first reaction of liberals when I refused to subject my daughter to this vaccine was that I was some sort of religious fanatic who denied the possibility of my child ever having sex.
Sorry about their idiocy, but I refused it because of the lack of science there is to back up its efficacy. Our GP agreed with me and was impressed with my knowledge about Gardisil.
