Looks like little Justin got banned from here again by KMIZ. Yet again he changes his name. Pathetic he has to keep changing his log in just to make childish, idiotic posts. Must be getting his hours cut at McDs to have the time to do it so often.

What gripes me is that the big pharmaceutical companies charge US citizens through the roof for their drugs, but then they sell the same drugs to other countries at a fraction of the cost

Why don’t they just print more medicine?

We have 3D printers that crank out ghostly guns, surely we can clone a pill.

No. Big Pharm makes a killing on this crap they bring in from China and they have to pay off all of the Reps and Senators who are on the take plus 10% for The Big Guy. Don't expect any miracles.

The profits go to R & D. Most of these people drive broken Chevy Cruzes with failed turbochargers. The wealthier drive used BMWs. And they don't care about the poor only the ones they can get money from.

Pharm companies already make billions of dollars. Far to many people in this country can't afford their prescriptions. Absolutely congress should step in and regulate prices

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Most people already drive 75 MPH, at least. Trust the people.

A lot of people drive faster than the posted speed limit - 75 to 80 instead of 70. Increasing the speed limit will just push the actual travel rates higher - 80 to 85 instead of 75. With all of the heavy trucks on the road (some that drive slow), higher speeds are just dangerous.

Drivers are already driving 5 to 10 miles over the current limits so if it's increased I'm pretty sure they'll exceed the new limits.
