Well look at the bright side. YOU, meaning red states, take 9 of the top 10 spots in states that MOST depend on the fed gov.

And yeah you’ll be sad to know that many of the least dependent are at the bottom.

Feel free to browse...moocher :)

azar is an attorney, apparently not someone with training in health.

i am not willing to believe trump was irresponsible— yet. trump has the problem of getting qualified people given the deep state was against him from the beginning, and cabinet approvals from mitch. that is a big handicap when running the US executive branch.

Possibly, Trump read Azar the riot act and all but told him to pack his backs sometime in late February or the first week of April. Gave or implied a deadline for him to resign. Azar got sidelined around April 7. 2 weeks from April 7 is April 21, and now it’s 30 minutes into April 22 on the east coast.

I’d be sympathetic but Azar sounds from the article like a clown. Plus, he is a lawyer. He will get paid a pension. Because of him, apparently, many people died. No sympathy for a guy who was promoted beyond his competence, and failed the test to rise to the occasion when challenged by events. If anything Trump seems to have been humane to the guy.

“Red state?” Ha...I’m in Oregon. I wish. Plus I wasn’t thinking finances...I’m thinking morals. ..I should have made that clear.

It would take you all of ten minutes on Twitter to figure out that Rebecca Ballhaus and Stephanie Armour are a couple of Resistance "Can't Understand Normal Thinking" pieces of Democrat dogsqueezins.

I just LOVE the way the Democrat blue-check "journalists" let it all hang out on Twitter.

They're dumber than dirt when it comes to hiding their Party affiliations.

On Jan. 29, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar told President Trump the coronavirus epidemic was under control.

And two days later Trump shut down travel from China. Is there anything in this article that isn't #FakeNews garbage?

No, but I'm quite willing to mow down Democrat propagandists, like these two Demmie news-hoes.

Why waste your time reading the omissions of Democrat Party propagandists?

You've been here long enough to get tired of parsing their lies.

Former president of Eli Lilly’s US division, Alex Azar is as Big Pharma Swampy as it gets.

He and Redfield and Fauci are Swamp creatures who made sure we got the pandemic going here.
