Okay, so what is the truth about this bill that the Kenyan Commie signed?
The whole deal is a nasty bit of self-serving cronyism and the usual DC carousel of lawyers moving from an agency to lobbying. Marino is merely the latest example & it will just keep turning.
For profits out of health care, which is mission not business. Rinos and corporatist globalist cabals out of health care.
They will damage your health in the name of profit, payoff, favors.
The only thing we need from a drug czar is somebody who will criminally prosecute any doctor that prescribes opioids for chronic pain in excess of 30 days...unless the patient is determined to be terminally ill and due to die within 12 months.
No greater service could be done for the nation in this post.
Tough to say. It looks to me like DC swmp politics, Marino taking money to protect opiate distributors. DEA probably was overly aggressive and affecting some legitimate business, but this bill went too far, and looks terrible. Not tenable for Marino to become drug czar.
Geldhof, the DEA program manager in Detroit, was investigating a midsize Ohio-based drug distributor. Between 2007 and 2012, Miami-Luken had shipped 20 million doses of oxycodone and hydrocodone to pharmacies in West Virginia. About 11 million wound up in one county, Mingo, population 25,000.
Why do we still have czars?
Democrats selecting Republican candidates again.
That’s a great question. I would love to see some federal government shrinkage. Lose all the czars, kill a few of the cabinet positions and their departments.
“It seems like the DEA attacking the supply is also a legitimate strategy”
Elderly disabled veterans with chronic pain probably do not like the sound of it.
Marino was taking money from Drug Dealers in exchange for protection.
He should be in prison.
Move Sessions to Drug Czar and get a more aggressive AG.
This elderly disabled veteran says if you’re taking opioids for longer than 30 days you’re an addict.
You need rehab first, then edification in the modern pain management techniques. Certainly one or more will work for you.
7 out of 10 times it’s just a matter of getting moving.
Oh, and the people who got you addicted are criminals.
For the same reason we have blatanly unconstitutional agencies like the DEA.
A man is known by his enemies ... Rep. Marino must be the right man for the job.
add 60 minutes. He was clearly “in the pocket.” and he got the best investigator fired. F-— him. It iOS a mark against trump that he got the job in the first place.
Who needs czars, anyway.
Czars are for Russians.
