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

The pharmaceutical lobby has fought hard against any price-reduction proposals.

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.

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

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.

Hopefully, but not overly confident. Unlike Missouri, Auburn has played three top 20 teams, and although they lost, they fought hard. Auburn is no pushover, plus it will be in their barn.

I would give MU the edge. It won't be easy. No matter what happens, the Tigers will win.

I'd like to see how many of the democratic votes came from bots

Democrats are insisting on concessions related to health care policy (specifically extending Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies) to reopen the government. Republicans argue for a "clean" funding bill without these policy changes.

It's beautiful. Trump is getting rid of the fake workers Biden hired, and AOC will Primary Schumer. Winner winner, chicken dinner.

As every 8th grade Civics student knows, it takes 60 votes to end the Schumer Shutdown. Since we only have 53 Republicans, we must have a handful of Senate Democrats

Trump is ending wars, getting hostages released, after nearly 2 years, while Schumer is holding the US taxpayers hostage, for free medical care for illegal aliens, while our own citizens have to pay for medical care.

The democrats want to add to the budget. It’s a CR, you don’t add to it. You open the government and then negotiate the budget.

Wish I could vote for both. This shutdown is a game both sides are playing. I want to roll up a newspaper and smack 'em both.

Republicans could easily say yes to extending subsidies for Americans and no to the other provisions. If Dems say “no” then it’s on them. Not much compromising is going on.

They control the Presidency, Senate and House, and are holding up a budget that would increase healthcare premiums three-fold for millions of Americans to give the rich tax write-offs. This is all Republican.

I don't believe that the ACA causes a significant amount of money to go to healthcare for illegal immigrants
