Happy pills are here again,
The skies are bright and near again,

Happy pills are here again!!!

More evidence that there's not much difference between the two parties. The Goldwater-Reagan wing of the party is clearly dead. We have a $159-billion deficit, and the Republicans are about to spend a huge amount of our money on a new entitlement program that will saddle generations of young people with an enormous debt. I thought the idea was to restore the Constitution and eliminate entitlement programs. Instead, Republicans are sacrificing our long-term fiscal, economic, and moral health for short-term political gain.

imposing new limits on damages in medical malpractice cases.

Good. Cut off the DNC trial lawyer contributions. This is why health care costs are sky rocketing. Get rid of the frivolous DNC enouraged law suits, and the doctors can do their jobs the way they should be done.
The higher the cost of health care, the closer they get to their facist universal health care. Head 'em off at the pass.

But the return of federal budget deficits, after four years of surpluses, could sharply limit the generosity of any drug benefits.

What? No "Free health care and proscription drugs for EVERYONE?"
Poor AlGore. His dreams of a health care take over are RUINED!
(I like deficits. It slows down social spending. Deficits go away, social programs do not!)

This is nothing more than big-government pandering that's going to cause more problems than it solves.
