Prescription drugs are the new infrastructure week.

I understand the GOP wants to run on prescription drug prices because they got nothin’.

Now, government doesn’t run on deals, it runs on enforceable agreements and laws. Sen. Sanders wants the federal government to contract with pharmaceutical manufacturers to buy drugs at set prices, and sell them to patients at those prices, the way several European countries do it (and many of the major drug manufacturers are in Europe, so…). That’s law, and contract.

Trump makes “deals.”  Or claims he does. He also claims he won the 2020 election (still), and that the economy is in better shape than it’s ever been in American history.

Now, between the Lovely Wife and I, we take our fair share of prescription drugs. Not as many as my sainted mother took, but she had three serious medical conditions and took insulin injections 4 times a day. But we haven’t seen the price of drugs drop at all, much less 1000 to 5000 percent.

So I have to wonder if Trump’s dementia isn’t contagious, and it’s affected the entire GOP. Because job growth is non-existent, costs are up, the Feds are literally killing us, if they aren’t locking us up, and I don’t hear anyone saying; “But thank God, Ozempic is paying me to take their drug!”
