I don’t care about the damn vaccine. If a person wants it, they should be able to get it.
If the Merck shysters price it out of range, that is their problem, not the taxpayers.
Using an EO was just rotten. I don’t like it when Obama does it either.
This is the kind of crap the American people are tired of. They are tired of politicians making deals behind their backs thinking they always know better.
I agree Perry made a mistake in using an EO for this vaccine, especially on such a short time frame. If he believed in it, he should have used leadership to put it in place like was done with the previous vaccines.
That said, I see Executive Orders as part of the checks and balances within our three tiered government. As the Texas Legislation showed, the EO wasn't without its own check and balance.
Not all executive orders are a bad thing. Some have been used rather effectively for conservative policy.

If you were president, you’d be singing the praises of EO if you could use it against obamacare. It’s just a tool. It’s like the line item veto. An executive can use it to trim budgets to the bone or he can use it as a bargaining tactic (vote for my stuff or I’ll veto your pork)
