What a surprise.
GET THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL DONE, YOU DOPES!
The GOP pushing back on a 90/10 issue. I can’t wait to hear their argument 😆
they should be forced to wear sponsor’s patches on their clothes like PGA & NASCAR
This was predictable. Trump needs to smack some sense into the RINOs and make a big deal about draining the swamp is a bipartisan problem. The do-nothing GOP establishment needs to fear the base.
There will be Medicare issues, too. Trump ran on not harming seniors. Will the new changes hurt seniors (regardless of potential tax changes not taxing SS)?
Pfk them all.
The Republicans are outstanding at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Lowering Prescription Drug prices is an 80/20 issue with millions of average Americans, Republican leadership opposes the Trump plan and offers nothing in return.
Same goes for Trump’s idea of no taxes on tips, overtime, or social security, all tax cuts that will benefit millions of average Americans.
Meanwhile the Republicans are also against increasing taxes of the richest Americans. T
Republican leadership has put themselves squarely behind policies of the rich at the expense of the average American.
These two policies alone will benefit Republicans in elections in the future.
How about instead of price controls, WHICH NEVER WORK IN THE LONG RUN, we fix the DEA and FDA?
Fix the system that makes producing and innovating new therapies more responsive to the market and more responsible as well.
I don’t really like the idea of the President setting prices, but I’m not sure that’s exactly what this is.
Once bought, a career politician stays bought.
SHAME on them BOTH!!!!!!
For these politicians, they would need to construct and pass a law in the interests of the fattened pharmaceuticals. That would be good for local campaigns in coming elections.
Thune and Johnson have ONE JOB, pass the damn big beautiful bill.
We always knew CONGRESS worked for the highest bidder, not the American citizens.
Yes CONGRESS has sold their souls to the pharmaceutical cos.
The Main Thing I was hopeful for in this Bill was no Taxes on Social Security for Seniors. Has that been scratched?
Congress Critters and all the Bribes ,LOL
The DC lobbyists aren’t new to this rodeo. The drugs are the tip of the spear.
