I’m very disappointed in the “Republicans”. We took a huge step backward today. Today they passed a prescription drug program that is going to cost this country a fortune. There are 1.7 million people in the U.S. (roughly 1% of the population) who claim they can’t get the prescription drugs they need. As a result, the government has decided to spend $400 BILLION on prescription drugs. That sounds high, but then figure in that MOST government programs end up costing more than three times their initial estimate. In five years, this will very likely be over $1 Trillion. Many argued that rather than an expensive government program, we help those few who need it. This plan says we help the 99% that not only don’t need help, but most don’t want it.
I wish people understood politics. This country would be a much different place if people knew who they were voting for, and knew how to read the Constitution. I’m voting Constitution Party in the future, even if the people I vote for have very little chance of winning.
By the way ‘RINO’ is Republican In Name Only.
